The horrifying moment two Russian soldiers were wiped out by a Ukrainian mortar strike has been captured on camera.
It is unclear exactly where the footage, widely shared on social forum Reddit, was captured but the soldiers are sighted running through a field.
Soon after, a massive explosion erupts after a mortar strike.
Such incidents are increasingly common with Ukraine's counteroffensive in full swing - a new phase in the war.
Russia's assault on Ukraine is also at another turning point after it emerged that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will travel to meet Vladimir Putin.

The two leaders are reportedly set to discuss Pyongyang supplying weapons to Russia as its long battle with Kyiv rumbles on.
Kim is expected to ride aboard a bulletproof train on a 426-mile journey from Pyongyang to the Pacific port city of Vladivostok this month.
The meeting's confirmation follows White House reports on new information suggesting Moscow and Pyongyang "actively advancing" its alliance.

The influence of the war continues to be felt across the globe, with Cuba the latest to uncover deadly links to the bloodshed in Europe.
The tropical island's foreign ministry says it has found a human trafficking ring designed to recruit Cubans to back Russia in the war.
In a statement, the authorities said it was working to "neutralise and dismantle" the chilling network.
It said: "The ministry of the interior… is working on the neutralisation and dismantling of a human trafficking network that operates from Russia to incorporate Cuban citizens living there, and even some from Cuba, into the military forces participating in war operations in Ukraine."

The statement added: "Cuba has a firm and clear historical position against the use of mercenaries … Cuba is not part of the war in Ukraine."
Questions over Cuba's involvement were first raised back in May last year, with the Russian regional newspaper Ryazan Gazette alleging "several Cuban citizens” had signed up to join Moscow's fight.
The Ukraine war has reignited old cold war tensions, seeing an isolated Russia and poor Cuba seemingly join forces again.
Russia has so far no commented on the Cuba claims.
