In the past three months, Russian forces have attacked units of Ukraine's State Emergency Service more than 60 times, killing five rescuers and injuring more than 30.

According to Ukrinform, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko reported this on Telegram.

He said that on November 5, in the village of Prymorske, Zaporizhzhia region, Russian troops deliberately targeted a State Emergency Service vehicle with an FPV drone, injuring four rescuers.

In Kramatorsk, a Russian airstrike hit the territory of a fire station, damaging the building, a training tower, and more than a dozen specialized vehicles, and sparking a fire.

"Russia is cynically targeting people who save others every day and the equipment that helps them do it," Klymenko said.
