Ukraine says it has carried out the first evacuation of a wounded soldier from the front line by drone. Mines and Russian drones made a ground rescue impossible, so troops sent a heavy hexacopter originally built as a bomber. The infantryman strapped himself into a harness and was flown to safety, then taken on to hospital for treatment. His brigade says he is now recovering.
