VIDEO Russian tank hit by Ukrainians a few kilometers from the Russian border

Images on social media show an exchange of fire between a Russian T-80BVM tank and Ukrainian forces in Kharkiv, about 12 kilometers from the Ukrainian-Russian border, CNN reports.

Ukrainian forces in the northeast of the Kharkiv region targeted a Russian tank, and the tank was pulling back, according to new videos circulating on social networks.

CNN geolocated and verified the authenticity of the videos, and although it is not clear when the exchange of fire took place, it took place about 12 kilometers south of the border between Ukraine and Russia.

The three videos on the Telegram show a Russian tank near a network of trenches dug near Highway 105. Troops can be seen in the trenches, but it is unclear whether they are Russians or Ukrainians.

The Russian tank is seen on fire, spinning and then firing.

Although it’s not clear how the tank caught fire, the second video gives some clues as to what might have started it. In the video, the tank was seen heading north, back to the Russian-occupied border and territory, as well as a Ukrainian soldier equipped with an anti-tank missile.

The tank fired repeatedly in the direction in which the soldier was last seen.

In a third video, an anti-tank rocket was seen almost hitting the tank. Finally the tank is seen heading towards the row of trees on the side of the road and entering them.
