Emergency services: the Russian army attacked with a drone the rescuers who were putting out the fire after the shelling

In Kherson, a Russian drone attacked rescuers who were extinguishing a fire after a previous shelling, the press service of the State Emergency Service said in a statement.

“The Russian occupiers continue their terror and deliberately aim at the rescuers,” the State Emergency Service noted.

According to the rescuers, on the afternoon of November 1, after the shelling of Kherson, a one-story residential building caught fire in one of the districts of the city. The unit of the State Emergency Service arrived on the scene and started extinguishing.

“During the work, the Russians attacked the fire engine with a shock drone. None of the rescuers was injured,” the agency concluded.

The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.

The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.

The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes of the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful in nature.
