This drone footage shows Ukrainian soldiers from the Volyn Border Detachment using grenades and rifle fire to take out Russian troops hiding in a dugout. They are hiding there after the majority of their force retreated in the wake of a failed attack.

Six Russians were purportedly hiding in the dugout shown. After one Volyn soldier throws a grenade in the hole, other soldiers rush up to finish the job with rifle fire. They make use of the concussive effect of the grenade, counting on to have stunned the trapped Russians. This technique is repeated twice, before a final grenade is thrown in. Apparently, any six Russian soldiers worth blowing up once are worth blowing up three times.
