In the Dnipropetrovsk region, Russian forces attacked rescue workers as they were clearing up the aftermath of shelling
Russian troops twice targeted State Emergency Service rescuers in the Synelnykivskyi District of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast while they were responding to an enemy attack.
Overnight, the occupiers attacked emergency responders while they were extinguishing a fire that broke out in a private residential building as a result of Russian shelling.
“The Russians attacked the rescuers at night while they were extinguishing a fire in a private residential building that broke out as a result of enemy shelling in the Synelnykivskyi district,” the State Emergency Service noted.
After completing the emergency rescue operations, the emergency responders headed to their permanent base. However, on the way, they came under enemy fire again.
The Russian army attacked the fire and rescue vehicle in which the State Emergency Service personnel were traveling.
Despite the repeated shelling, no personnel were injured. Information regarding damage to the vehicle is currently being verified.
Targeted attacks on rescuers while they are performing their duties are yet another indication of the danger Ukrainian emergency responders face every day. State Emergency Service personnel regularly respond to the aftermath of Russian attacks, risking their own lives due to repeated strikes by the occupiers on emergency sites.
In the Synelnykivskyi district, rescuers managed to avoid casualties this time, despite two consecutive enemy attacks.
This was reported by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine on Facebook.
In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian troops continue to rely on infantry assaults and use makeshift multiple launch rocket systems. At the same time, Ukrainian defenders are successfully holding back the enemy’s offensive, inflicting significant losses in manpower and equipment.
