❗️#Donetsk_region: The Russians attacked rescue workers in Slovyansk with a drone whilst they were putting out a fire!

This morning, the enemy struck the city with four UAVs. An administrative building, industrial premises and two shops were damaged. A fire broke out on the premises of a car repair centre; whilst it was being extinguished, Russian drones continued to circle nearby.

One of them struck precisely where the rescue workers were operating. Fortunately, the State Emergency Service personnel reacted in time and took cover — no one was injured, and the State Emergency Service’s equipment remained undamaged.

Despite the threat of further strikes, the firefighters completely extinguished the blaze, which covered an area of 370 square metres.
