Ukrainian troops fly cat and dog 7.5 miles by drone to evacuate them from front line

Ukrainian troops used a drone to rescue a cat and dog that were stuck on the front line. Thermal footage shared by Ukraine’s 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade on Tuesday (7 April) shows soldiers approaching the animals, before a later clip shows them petting and stroking the pets in a shelter following the “dangerous” rescue. The animals were flown seven-and-a-half miles using a drone that was originally returning from a food supply mission. “The tailed ones recovered from the ‘flight’ and have a good appetite!” said the brigade as they shared the footage.
