My best guess too. Looks like mortar fire rather than artillery. Mortars are not very accurate, even with a spotter. Buggering up supply routes is generally a bloody good tactic. The BMP occupants may have got out OK. Doubt they will be fit to fight for a while. They most likely won't be keen to take that route again.
