A viral video of a soldier on a battlefield being saved from a bullet by his smartphone is doing rounds on social media.
The purported video is reported to be from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war which has entered its second month,
In the 30-second long video, an alleged Ukrainian soldier is seen talking to another person, where he is saying that the smartphone saved his life.
The video then focuses on the phone, which has a bullet of 7.62mm stuck inside it. The smartphone served the purpose of a bulletproof vest which would have otherwise killed the soldier.
The sound of gunfire is clearly heard in the video, which shows that the video is of the battlefield.
However, India Today could not verify the source of the video.
Russia-Ukraine War
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine enters its second month, Moscow has ramped up the intensity of its attacks in eastern Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin, on April 21, declared that the strategic port city Mariupol had been ‘successfully liberated’. Currently, daily bombings are being recorded in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, as both sides continue to fiercely fight for gaining control of the region.
