Drone video published to pro-Ukrainian Twitter accounts and pro-Russian Telegram accounts claims that an artillery strike successfully destroyed both a Ukrainian and Russian BM-21 depending on which source you look at first.

It's unclear exactly which side is correct in this instance. The Ukrainians and Russians are both claiming that the superior artillery of their side made a first round impact on an enemy BM-21causing the massive explosion you're seeing in the video.

As of right now, there's really no way of knowing which side is correct from this footage. Other angles however do make me believe that this is a Ukrainian strike, dominantly because they have cringe-worthy TikTok music on top of them in the source material.

The video was geo-located to this position on Google Maps. 47.72963, 37.3400.
