An intact Russian drone has reportedly been discovered in woodland by a Ukrainian soldier.
A video shared online appeared to show the “relatively unscathed” object being found on a forest floor in countryside near Luhansk, in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.

“I was able to capture this new Russian drone relatively unscathed,” said the guardsman of the 31st Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, in a post on social media app Telegram by Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs.
“Therefore, I consider the hunt to be successful, and interesting data from this drone was transferred to the relevant authorities of the Defence Forces of Ukraine.”
The drone is thought to be a type typically used for aerial reconnaissance and short-range surveillance.
The discovery comes as Rishi Sunak said on Friday that new sanctions will help ensure Vladimir Putin “pays a price” for his brutal war in Ukraine.
During a meeting of the G7 in Japan, Rishi Sunak announced Russian diamond imports to the UK will be banned, alongside Russian-origin copper, aluminium and nickel.
Support for Ukraine was top of the agenda at the summit in Hiroshima, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to make a surprise appearance at over the weekend.
