This was reported by Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Vygivskyi, who added - "this strike is a continuation of Russia's tactic of "hunting" those who defend and save", reports UNN.
I received further reports from Zhytomyr, where emergency and rescue operations are still ongoing in the building of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Zhytomyr region A tragic day not only for the National Police of Ukraine, but for the entire system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A cynical and deliberate strike. In broad daylight. When not only employees but also visitors - civilian citizens - were in the building
According to him, when the air raid alert was announced, most people managed to go down to the shelter, but the double direct strike unfortunately claimed the lives of two police officers.
Artem Zubchuk. A police captain and senior operative officer of the Department of Strategic Investigations in Zhytomyr region. He was 32 years old.
Yuliia Yevdokymova, who was 39 years old. A police lieutenant colonel and assistant to the head of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Zhytomyr region.
Eternal memory to those who died, and sincere condolences to their families and colleagues. All those wounded have been receiving the necessary medical assistance from the very first minutes. As of now, more than 40 people have been injured
According to the minister, this strike is a continuation of Russia's tactic of "hunting" those who defend and save. Every day, police officers and rescuers, official vehicles and facilities become targets - not only in frontline regions. Almost always at precisely those moments when our services are helping civilians.
There were also reports today from Maksym Tsutskiridze, Acting Head of the National Police of Ukraine. The response protocols for employees during air raid alerts have been developed, but Russian terror requires regular strengthening of security measures. I thank every employee who, despite the daily threat, remains in the ranks. For safety and for the sake of the people
