Footage recorded near Avdiivka shows a pair of Russian troops being chased down and repeatedly struck by kamikaze drones.

The first strike seriously injures one of the Russians, who begins stripping his armor and gear to assess his wounds. The second soldier unconvincingly plays dead, and another drone is sent in to strike him. The loitering munition detonates directly on his legs, horribly maiming him.

The incident reportedly occurred in the vicinity of the Avdiivka Coke Bottling plant, and the strikes were carried out by the Ukrainian 47th Magura Brigade.
