A new video appears to show a striking new use for drones in the war in Ukraine: raining fire from above.

Footage posted on Monday showed a drone dropping a burning substance on a tree line.

The footage seemed to show a first-person camera feed from the drone itself, followed by aerial video showing the attack from a distance.

It wasn't clear from the footage whether there were any soldiers in the area that was hit.
