Thermal drone footage from the Ukrainian 80th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade reportedly shows an accurate artillery strike landing in the middle of a Russian dismounted foot patrol resulting in several casualties inflicted.

I will say the footage has somewhat of a seemingly disingenuous edit or transition at the time of the strike. However, both clips are of the same location and the bodies are still warm in the second clip. It's likely legitimate, but it's okay to question the authenticity of such videos when certain editing techniques are used.
