Harsh footage recorded through two different thermal riflescopes shows Ukrainian snipers suppressing a Russian fighting position so a lone infantryman can approach and throw a grenade into the bunker where at least one Russian soldier is in attendance.

Following the blast of the grenade, the Russian soldier climbs out of the hole and is engaged multiple times by one of the waiting rifleman. He is no more.

The operation was carried out by an element of Ukraine's Azov Regiment, reportedly in the vicinity of Andriivka on the flanks of Bakhmut in Donetsk.
