Footage of a Russian drone strike has sparked international outrage. The strike targeted an unarmed young civilian riding a bicycle outside a city in eastern Ukraine. Russian military channels initially celebrated the incident as the "elimination" of enemy forces, but independent monitors later realized the true nature of the footage.

The footage had already spread globally by the time Moscow attempted to remove it from Telegram. This incident has led to accusations of war crimes under international humanitarian law. Further details and analysis of the incident are available.
