Ukrainian drone footage shows an FPV loitering munition flying into a tiny opening of a Russian dugout fighting position. Multiple seconds lapse and nothing happens, suggesting that the bomb drone may have lost connection or malfunctioned. Suddenly a massive fireball shoots out of both ends of the trench, throwing what appears to be a seriously injured body in one direction, and a fully engulfed Russian soldier crawls out of the other end.

The burning man rolls on the ground to extinguish the flames, but it's likely that he has sustained life-threatening burn injuries. The drone pans back down to the fighting position and additional soldiers, some more wounded than others, can be seen leaving the destroyed fighting position.
