This is the moment a huge Ukrainian drone slammed into a residential building in Russia injuring at least 13 people including two in a serious condition.
The strike happened on Thursday, 14th August, in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
Footage filmed by an eyewitness shows the large drone diving towards the apartment block before exploding in a fireball.
The blast is followed seconds later by a loud bang, with the filming location estimated to be 300 to 400 metres (980 to 1,300 feet) from the target.
Acting regional head Yuriy Slyusar said at least 13 people were injured, including two children. Seven of the victims received first aid and are already at home, while six remain in hospital.
The blast damaged 20 neighbouring buildings and several cars parked nearby, according to Slyusar.
Emergency services are inspecting the damage and evacuating residents from affected properties.
A temporary accommodation centre for those displaced has been set up at a local school.
Residents reported hearing loud noises across the city after an air raid alert was issued at around 10am.
Authorities confirmed the drone attack shortly afterwards.
