Ukraine's army claimed on Wednesday to have made the world's second-longest sniper kill. The shot would be roughly three times the height of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. The 24 seconds of grainy thermal imaging footage show a figure identified by Ukraine's armed forces as "the occupier," suggesting the apparent kill took place in occupied Ukraine. In the post, Ukraine's armed forces gave a nod to British former sniper Craig Harrison as having formerly held the record for second-longest shot, and who the Ukrainian army claims to have nudged into third place. Another pre-existing claim to second place is a kill by an unnamed member of Australia's second commando regiment in 2012, at 1.3 miles, or 2.81 km.
