There is video purporting to show the moment Ukrainian soldiers narrowly escape death after a Russian rocket doesn’t explode.
Within the first two seconds of the footage, we witness the weapon fall from the sky.
The cameraman appears to flee further within the structure they are recording from as the object lands somewhere out of site.
Several soldiers can be seen scrambling for cover in the video, but when the rocket does not go off as expected, the whole scene deflates somewhat.
The video was posted by US-based Twitter account @UKikaski, which claims to be military intelligence source and US Air Force veteran
The footage was captioned: ‘Some very lucky soldiers, possibly from the 81st Air Mobile Brigade, avoid almost certain death or injury after a Russian rocket did not detonate.’
Someone else took the opportunity to tease Moscow and commented: ‘Don’t worry Russian rockets never explode.’
Yesterday, Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu announced that some Belarusian jets are now capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
He also confirmed that a number of Iskander rocket systems had been transferred to Belarus, which could be used to carry conventional or nuclear missiles.
The move is believed to be a response to Finland officially becoming the 31st member of Nato at a ceremony in Brussels on the same day.
Finland and Sweden submitted a joint application to Nato in a direct answer to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Although Sweden are still awaiting approval, Finland’s membership represents a major change in Europe’s security landscape.
The country adopted neutrality after its defeat by the Soviets in the Second World War, but its leaders signalled they wanted to join the alliance just months after Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine sent fear through Moscow’s neighbours.
The move is a strategic and political blow to Mr Putin, who has long complained about Nato’s expansion toward Russia and partly used that as a justification for the invasion. The alliance says it poses no threat to Moscow.
Finland shares an 832 mile land border with Russia- the largest in Europe.
