A pro-Russian fighter was filming himself testing the strength of a bulletproof vest in Ukraine when he deliberately shot himself in the stomach sustaining critical injuries in the process. While many social media reports asserted that the man died after the incident, these claims are yet to be confirmed.

The reported incident occurred in the troubled region of Donbass — the unofficial name for the Donetsk and Luhansk coal mining regions in eastern Ukraine, Daily Mail reported.

The young man, called "Domovoi" (house-elf) by the Ukranian media, can be seen in the video loading a Stechkin automatic pistol while wearing a dark bulletproof vest.
