A drone rained down molten thermite on the battlefield in southern Ukraine, setting alight a line of trees in the latest innovation in drone warfare.

Both Ukrainian and Russian sources have claimed credit for a video circulating on social media which appears to show a first-person view drone being used to burn down the forest belt.

The footage shows the unmanned aerial vehicle pouring a stream of white hot metal from above as it moves methodically from left to right across the position.

Such treelines are characteristic of the fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces in southern Ukraine.
