Fighting is blazing on in Russia’s Kursk region after Ukraine launched a shock raid across the border last week.
Footage purporting to show a Ukrainian “Baba Yaga” drone attacking Russian fortifications in the border Kursk region has surfaced online as Kyiv steams ahead with its surprise cross-border incursion.
The night-vision clip, circulating online but not specifying a date or exact location, appears to show at least three bombs being dropped from an airborne drone. The brief video, shared by Anton Gerashchenko, a former adviser to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry, is said to be in Kursk, where Ukraine is now six days into a cross-border push.
Newsweek could not independently verify the clip, and has reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email.
Ukraine’s Baba Yaga drones are heavy attack weapons, adapted from their original use as agricultural drones to having become a formidable tool in Kyiv’s arsenal for use against Russian troops.
Russian sources in Ukraine have previously indicated that the Baba Yaga drones have been upgraded to operate at night, and are able to reach longer distances without being audible to Moscow’s troops.
