Interesting video from a Ukrainian observation drone shows a resourceful Russian artillery unit firing from within the recesses of a rubbled building in an attempt to conceal the location of their howitzer.

It's not clear how long they had been using that location before they were discovered. I also wonder if constant drone surveillance by the Ukrainians is how this artillery piece was found, or if the drone was investigating possible firing point locations calculated by counter mortar and artillery radar units.

The footage ends as the location takes a hit from Ukrainian counter battery fire and significant smoldering is seen from emitting from the rubble.
