A man captured the terrifying moment a SUICIDE DRONE struck the building he was in while he filmed a selfie video.
The footage shows Lucas Cândido recording himself talking while leaning out of an open window at night.
As an air raid siren rings out, he can be seen glancing up at the sky between speaking to the camera.

At one point, he looks up in apparent alarm. A second later, a blinding flash of light fills the screen before the footage cuts out.
Lucas, a Brazilian volunteer fighting alongside Ukrainian forces, was staying in a building in Kharkiv when the Russian drone struck on Tuesday (13 October).
Four other Brazilian volunteers were also inside the accommodation at the time. None of the five was seriously injured, as reported by Need To Know.
Lucas later said online: “Almost all my colleagues are injured. My leg is hurt, but we’re OK, thank God. Russia is cowardly like that, unfortunately.”
He also filmed the aftermath of the strike, showing the volunteers’ flat in disarray and a huge crater in the road just outside the building.
Ukrainian media reported Russian attacks on residential areas of Kharkiv between 12 and 13 October, with casualties elsewhere in the city.
Days earlier, on Sunday (11 October), a woman filming a selfie video captured the terrifying moment a Russian missile struck just metres away, killing three people.
A 16-year-old boy, a 19-year-old woman and a 51-year-old woman died in the attack in Pisochyn, a suburb of Kharkiv, Ukraine.
At least 22 people were injured, including two children, according to regional governor Oleh Syniehubov.
The footage shows the woman recording herself in a densely populated residential area when a huge explosion suddenly erupts nearby.
The missile struck near a grocery store and apartment buildings, damaging homes and leaving vehicles burned out.
Emergency services rushed to the scene as medics treated the injured, with several people requiring medical assistance.
Images shared after the attack showed badly damaged buildings and burned-out cars.
