Russian soldiers can be seen running into a home for shelter before it is fired upon by the Ukrainian tank.
Then Russia soldiers then flee into another home before it is also destroyed.

I know one thing, if I was in a group of Russian soldiers fleeing an attack I would run the opposite direction as everyone else!

[@MrMoon2402]

Its a gamble, you dont stick together so the enemy can't take you out all together, or you bunch up so friendly fire doesn't become a thing because of poor communication. I would fear the latter more.

[@chaoticworldnews2771]

Looks like the footage has been edited to misrepresent the order of events and make an unsuccessful attack look deadly. The window on the right looks blasted out in the building as the Russians arrive but then miraculously it is repaired when the explosion happens near it. So that mortar or artillery round actually exploded there before the soldiers arrived.

Im not sure, but it looks like a two different videos combined together (look at this transition -> 1:07). I mean, the first video (when soldiers run to the building) was taken when it was sunny (look at shadows). The second one when it's already cloudy and a little darker outside. The time difference between these two videos can be minutes or even hours and most likely these soldiers were no longer there.
