Footage shows a Russian front line fighting position erupting in chaos as a Ukrainian drone begins dropping explosives.

Initially, a Russian soldier can be seen casually walking toward a position with overhead concealment. He can hear the drone but isn't sure of its exact location or the seriousness of the threat. He stands casually under a piece of fabric, hoping the drone will go away.

Instead, the drone operator drops a grenade which explodes very near the Russian soldier. His right hand and right leg appear to have sustained significant traumatic injuries. He calls for help, but his comrades are not willing to leave their trench position to drag him back in. Eventually, he gets up of his own accord and runs into the trench.

The drone operator then spots multiple jugs of fuel lying near the trench and drops a munition. The petroleum products combust, sending burning fuel several meters in all directions and catching fire to multiple fighting positions in the vicinity.
