A shocking video has emerged showing what appears to be a Russian drone attack on an unarmed civilian cyclist in Ukraine's Donetsk region. The footage captures the moment a drone targets a young man riding a bicycle, despite him wearing civilian clothing.
The incident reportedly took place in the village of Vasilievskaia Pustoศ. Shortly after the attack, a post appeared on the official channel of the 3rd Army of the Russian Armed Forces, announcing the "elimination of enemy forces" using an FPV drone. The accompanying message stated, "The enemy is again losing people and shelters; there is nowhere left to hide from our fighters."
