Ukraine evacuates wounded soldier by drone from front line
Ukraine's 92nd Assault Brigade said it carried out its first aerial drone evacuation of a wounded soldier. The serviceman was surrounded by landmines and Russian drones, making a ground rescue impossible, according to the military.
Why it matters
Drone evacuations could allow rescues where ground teams cannot safely reach the wounded.
Background
Drones dominate the front lines in Ukraine, making it dangerous to move soldiers and supplies near combat zones.
