Watch moment Putin soldier is sent flying like human cannonball 50ft from his bunker in drone bomb blast

THIS is the shocking moment one of Vladimir Putin’s soldiers is sent flying 50ft in the air like a human cannonball.

A Ukrainian drone dropped a bomb over the Russian’s battlefield bunker that also stored live ammunition – causing an almighty blast.

A video recorded the sudden up and down movement of the soldier when the underground shelter he was hiding in got struck by a precise aerial attack close to the city of Toretsk.

A powerful drone, deployed by the 1st Battalion of the 12th Azov Brigade, filmed the moment an explosive was dropped in the bunker.

The explosion’s impact was more significant than anticipated because a hidden stockpile of ammunition beneath the surface detonated upon being hit, causing a powerful shockwave across the battleground.

This sent the soldier flying out of his hideout as he was carried up in the air by plumes of smoke and a string of debris.

His lifeless body can be seen in the middle of the eruption travelling at terrifying speed directly upwards.

The fighter likely died before being thrown out of his bunker.

The graphic drone video goes on to show the soldier’s corpse lying on the ground just a few feet away from his bunker.

A Telegram account of the grim death said: “The 12th Azov Brigade showed a Russian flying out of a hole into the sky like a cannonball from a gun.”

The victim has not been identified but he is part of Putin’s destructive meatgrinder approach to the conflict in Ukraine.

Since the tyrant’s invasion more than three years ago, the latest report from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shows that he has suffered casualties of more than 891,000 soldiers.

It comes as Ukraine carried out its second huge blitz on Moscow in just three days.

Overnight, a major oil refinery exploded in a huge fireball blast due to the intense aerial strikes.

One of Russia’s prized oil refinery’s which sits just 55 miles from the Kremlin dictator’s £1billion clifftop palace on the Black Sea was the main target of the attack.

The hit triggered a seismic ten explosions at the site followed by a massive inferno with flames ripping through the region.

Krasnodar regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev announced: “The Kyiv regime attacked the oil complex in Tuapse. 

“One of the gasoline tanks caught fire. The area of the fire is more than 1,000 square metres, and emergency services are working.”

Vnukovo airport – which was used less than 24 hours earlier by Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff as he left Moscow after meeting Putin and his cronies – was also shut down due to the intense drone bombardment.

The strikes come just three days after Ukraine launched one of their biggest drone attacks of the war so far.

Russian air defences were left scrambling to shoot down over 337 drones across 10 different regions with Moscow and Kursk the main targets.

The attacks appeared to be a fiery response from Kyiv against Moscow’s refusal to accept a US-proposed 30-day ceasefire agreement.

On Thursday afternoon, Putin gave his first response saying he agreed in principle, but raised a long list of questions and caveats – which he called “nuances”.

Addressing all of his concerns would take a long time – far from the immediate peace Trump wants.

Putin said: “We agree with the proposals for the ceasefire, but our position is based on the assumption the ceasefire will lead to a long-term peace.”

Trump warned Putin today to spare trapped Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk – saying their slaughter would be the worst massacre since World War 2.

Russian forces have already seized 28 settlements in the wartorn region in the past week alone.

The US President urged the tyrant to sign a ceasefire following “very good and productive discussions” between Washington and Moscow yesterday.

Trump said on Truth Social: “AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIAN TROOPS ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, AND IN A VERY BAD AND VULNERABLE POSITION.

“I have strongly requested to President Putin that their lives be spared.

“This would be a horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II. God bless them all!!!”
