The drone crashed between two occupiers—an explosion followed the gunfire

A video has surfaced online showing a Russian soldier attempting to destroy a drone that had crashed next to him and his partner. The occupier began firing at the drone with an automatic weapon, after which the ammunition on it detonated. According to preliminary reports, one of the Russian soldiers was wounded.

 

A video has been posted online showing a Russian soldier’s failed attempt to neutralize a Ukrainian drone. The drone crashed right next to two Russian soldiers but did not explode upon impact. The aerial footage was captured by a Ukrainian drone monitoring the Russian soldiers’ movements. The video shows two Russian soldiers standing amid dense vegetation. A drone carrying ammunition lies between them.

For unknown reasons, the drone did not detonate after the crash. One of the Russian soldiers decided not to approach it and instead began firing at the drone with an automatic weapon. After several shots, the munition detonated. The explosion occurred right between the two Russian soldiers. According to the video’s creators, one of them sustained serious injuries.

However, based solely on the released footage, it is impossible to accurately determine the nature and severity of the soldier’s injuries. There is also no independent confirmation of his subsequent condition. The moment of the explosion was captured on video by a Ukrainian drone. The footage shows that after the detonation, one of the Russians falls, and the situation among the soldiers changes dramatically.

The authors of the post attribute the incident to a failed attempt to defuse the munition. However, based on the video alone, it is impossible to determine all the circumstances of the incident, including why the drone did not explode after it fell and exactly what type of munitions it was carrying. The video quickly spread online. Its authenticity and the exact location where it was filmed must be verified separately if additional information becomes available.

All that is known at this time is that the released footage shows a Russian soldier firing at a drone, after which an explosion occurs near two Russian soldiers. According to preliminary reports, one of them was injured.
