Shocking new video has emerged that shows a Russian soldier hit by a Ukrainian kamikaze drone while he was relieving himself near the frontlines.
How it happened
The unfortunate soldier is caught with his pants down squatting near an armoured vehicle as the drone approaches.
First-person view footage from the drone shows it approaching the Russian before the shot switches to the soldier squatting behind the vehicle.
The soldier notices the incoming drone and tries to flee – pulling up his pants and running but he is too late and is engulfed in an explosion.
It’s impossible to tell from the unverified video if the Russian soldier survived or was injured.
Russia-Ukraine war update
Ukraine and Russia have increasingly been using first-person-view drones to target each other’s forces on the frontlines to devastating effect.
The news comes as Russia continues to launch assaults in eastern Ukraine around the destroyed settlement of Andriivka near Bakhmut.
