Ukraine says a drone evacuated a wounded soldier from the front line in a world-first operation
Summary
Ukraine says a drone evacuated a wounded soldier from the front line in what a Ukrainian army brigade describes as a world-first operation, and that the mission succeeded. Euronews reports the unit is the 92nd Assault Brigade, which says mines and Russian drone activity made a conventional rescue impossible, and the BBC reports the serviceman was surrounded by landmines and enemy drones. NDTV reports the brigade did not say where the evacuation took place, while Tom's Hardware reports the injured infantryman was flown back to safety on the eastern Kharkiv front. Ukraine has shared video of the mission, which NBC News reports outlets describe as historic, and France 24 frames the operation as a sign of the growing role of unmanned technology in battlefield evacuations. NBC News also reports the announcement comes as Kyiv faces a dire turn in its relationship with Washington over the withdrawal of support in its fight against Russia.
