In the Sumy region, rescue workers came under a second Russian attack while fighting a fire

In the Hlukhiv community in Sumy Oblast, Russian troops launched a second attack on rescue workers as they were extinguishing a fire that broke out following a drone attack.

Firefighters were working at the scene of a fire in a warehouse when another explosion occurred near a fire truck.

According to the service, the rescue workers managed to leave the danger zone before the second strike, so there were no casualties among them.

Despite the incident, the fire was completely extinguished, and all sources of the blaze were put out.

The State Emergency Service notes that such incidents once again demonstrate the practice of follow-up strikes on facilities where emergency services are working to deal with the aftermath of attacks.

This was reported by the State Emergency Service.

In Sumy, an employee of the Sumy Forest District of the state enterprise “Forests of Ukraine” was wounded during another attack on a gas station. The incident occurred while the man was at the gas station; a service vehicle was also damaged.

On the night of June 25, Russia carried out a large-scale air attack on Ukraine, using a ballistic missile and dozens of attack drones. Air defense forces destroyed or intercepted most of the targets, but a missile and several drones were confirmed to have struck their targets.

Starting in the evening of June 24, Russian troops carried out nearly 20 attacks on five districts in the Dnipropetrovsk region, using drones, artillery, and a guided aerial bomb. Damage to infrastructure was reported as a result of the shelling.

On June 25, rescue workers extinguished a fire at an industrial facility in the Poltava region that was caused by a Russian attack. Emergency responders continued their work after the facility was struck by enemy weapons.
