In this handout video grab released by the Russian Defence Ministry, a view shows a strike of a Russian Lancet kamikaze drone on a Ukrainian Kozak armored personnel carrier (APC) in the border area of the Russia's Kursk Region. On August 6, the Russian Defence Ministry said that Ukrainian forces had attacked Russian state border protection units in the region. The next day, Russian chief of staff Valery Gerasimov said the attack, attempted by up to 1,000 Ukrainian fighters, had been stopped, with Kiev losing 315 soldiers, including at least 100 dead, and 54 units of armored vehicles.
