RSF hostage makes a break for it
This footage shows a mortar round being dropped via drone onto RSF militants in Sudan. What makes this scenario stand out is the presence of a hostage, who appears to be escorted by an approximate five rebels. The strike provides enough distraction for the prisoner to run away. Given that the Sudanese military opted to drop a mortar round, it's not exactly a stretch of the imagination to consider that saving the hostage was probably not the goal here. If it was, this was some finesse work in a conflict that is not normally associated with such. That being said, RSF has been routinely implicated in a litany of human rights violations. Although this video does not confirm whether the hostage actually got away- and, at first glance, this seems unlikely- their decision to make a run for it is certainly understandable.

Reconnaissance drone footage released by Saudi forces shows an airstrike targeting a large cluster of Houthi fighters in Yemen. It appears that the ten men had gathered for a meeting about their local operations. Through intelligence channels, the Saudi military became aware of the meeting, enabling this airstrike.

Footage released by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Defense shows a large cluster of Houthi fighters seemingly caught in the path of an airstrike. It’s unclear where all of the hypersonic missiles were in this footage; however, I’m told every day on Twitter that the Houthis are going to use their Iranian-made hypersonic missiles to sink an American aircraft carrier.

This quick clip shows Colombian mercenaries operating a mortar near Al-Fashir City, in Western Sudan. At first glance, one would likely assume that they'd been hired by the Sudanese military, to help quell the RSF rebellion. However that is surprisingly incorrect. These mortarmen are actually working for the rebels. It's likely that the United Arab Emirates are footing the bill, as they have a history of backing RSF. Colombian mercenary organizations have been involved in this conflict in the past, claiming that they were misled by their clients. However, that's an excuse that really only flies the first time.

Footage shows a drone from an unspecified cartel faction dropping multiple incendiary type devices onto the pickup of a rival cartel unit. The incident reportedly occurred in northeastern Mexico, but no additional information was provided. Although cartels are often seen with fully automatic military small arms weapons, having military grade explosives seems to be less common. For that, these sicarios are having to rely on homemade, improvised explosive munitions and destructive devices.

Footage released by the Iraqi Ministry of Defense that was recorded by members of the Iraqi Aviation Unit in 2016 shows an attack against Islamic State positions located in the Nineveh province. It's hard to be sure from this angle, but it appears as if they are using unguided bombs dropped from a Soviet-era MI-8 medium utility transport helicopter.

Footage released by the local PDF group conducting guerilla operations near Natmauk Township in the Magway region of Myanmar shows an improvised explosive attack that was targeting a military convoy.

1 views / TodayMyanmar junta fires up rebels with motorcycle-mounted gun
This footage, provided from the perspective of the Myanmar/Burmese military junta, shows their troops using a motorcycle-mounted machine gun to fire at Arakan Army insurgents in the field downrange in Rakhine. While technicals and vehicle-mounted machine guns are pervasive in almost every conflict presently engaged, there's something anachronistic and unique about the bike-and-sidecar configuration here. It appears that the driver is also the gunner, while a sidecar rider to the left functions as an assistant to manage the ammo. Therefore, it seems fairly obvious that it's not meant to be fired while in motion. That would admittedly be pretty cool to see, however.

This video shows Indonesian soldiers moving on a Papuan rebel dwelling in 2024. While not footage of combat in and of itself, this footage is important because it is a rare glimpse into a conflict not often discussed or filmed in modern times, although it's been going on since the 1960s. After the Dutch relinquished colonial control, Indonesia took over governance of an approximate half of Papua New Guinea. Local Papuan resistance has been ongoing since that time, although Indonesia typically keeps tight control of outgoing information regarding the conflict.
