On Rescuer's Day, Russians struck a fire station in Druzhkivka, Donetsk region
As noted, "a drone attacked the building: the blast wave blew out the garage entrance gates, and fragments cut the facade." "But the main thing is that the rescuers managed to hide in a shelter. No one was injured. The equipment also remained intact," the State Emergency Service indicated.
"This is not the first time that Russians have deliberately targeted fire and rescue units. And it is especially cynical that they did it precisely on the professional holiday of those who save other people's lives every day. Despite the shelling and constant danger, our rescuers do not give up. They go back to work to help people!" - emphasized the State Emergency Service.
