This is the devastating moment a Ukrainian drone barrels into a damaged building and blows up a Russian soldier hiding inside.
FPV drone footage follows the attack drone as it approaches the building, which appears to be the last one standing in an unknown location on the frontline.
The kamikaze drone flies into the door of the structurally unsound outpost.
The resulting blast knocks down the entire wall to reveal a Russian soldier hiding inside.
The blast instantly kills him. His body lies strewn among the ruins as smoke billows up into the grey sky.
Scenes like this are becoming all too common as the war in Ukraine approaches the two-year mark.
Russia and Ukraine each reported dozens of attempted drone attacks on Friday.
Ukraine’s air force said on Saturday that Ukrainian air defence had shot down 30 out of 31 drones launched overnight against 11 regions of the country.
Russia also said on Friday evening that it had thwarted a series of Ukrainian drone attacks.
Russian anti-aircraft units destroyed 32 Ukrainian drones over the Crimean Peninsula, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Telegram.
Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, a move that most of the world considered illegal, and has used it as a staging and supply point during the war.
Earlier, Russia’s Defense Ministry said that six drones had been shot down in the Kursk region, which borders Ukraine.
In Ukraine’s partially occupied southern Kherson region, the Russia-installed governor, Vladimir Saldo, reported on Telegram that Russian anti-aircraft units had downed at least 15 aerial targets near the town of Henichesk.
Stepped-up drone attacks over the past month come as both sides are keen to show they aren’t deadlocked as the war approaches the two-year mark. Neither side has gained much ground despite a Ukrainian counteroffensive that began in June, and analysts predict the war will be a long one.
