Brutal drone footage shows a Russian infantryman running frantically across the battlefield as he is being chased down by a drone. A split second before the drone detonates, a Ukrainian mortar round lands directly in front of the Russian.

A second angle of the incident, recorded by a Ukrainian observation drone shows the Russian being hit by both explosions almost simultaneously. The footage was released by the Ukrainian 68th Jaeger Brigade who were reportedly controlling the loitering munition. It's not clear if the mortarmen were also of the same unit.
