This is the moment Ukrainian troops destroyed fleeing Russian tanks after they were spotted trying to hide in residents' gardens.
Drones spotted the tanks driving around and looking for somewhere to set up position in the village of Zirkuni in the north-eastern Ukrainian region of the Kharkiv Oblast.
One of the tanks was filmed reversing into a tree-covered yard, with a soldier bringing up the rear.
At one point, tank crews climbed on top of their vehicle while talking, seemingly trying to coordinate attempts to conceal their position.
But the garden foliage did little to help. Ukrainian strikes soon obliterated the invading tanks, with footage showing them engulfed in flames.

Track marks can be seen in Ukrainian back yards as the tanks attempted to protect themselves, but with little effect.
The wreckage is left smoking by roadsides, scorching the earth around it.
Russian forces were attempting to regain lost positions in the area after giving ground further west to the Ukrainian military.
Putin's men fired artillery at Ruski Tyshky, Cherkasy Tyshky and Pytomnyk - as well as the village of Zirkuni where the tanks entered.
President Volodymyr Zelensky's said Monday that Russian forces were repelled when trying to storm Sievierodonetsk, a Ukrainian city in Luhansk.

The city has become the main Russian target in recent days as Moscow tries to encircle Ukrainian forces in the east and fully capture the Luhansk and Donetsk provinces.
Moscow is trying to overrun Sievierodonetsk, cut off a highway south of the city and cross the river further west at Bilohorivka, according to the Luhansk governor.
The full capture of Mariupol last week gives Russia its biggest victory for months. Its forces now control a largely unbroken swathe of the east and south, freeing up more troops to join the main Donbas fight.
