Russian troops launched repeated drone strikes on emergency responders in Kharkiv and Kherson as they were working to mitigate the aftermath of earlier attacks.
Ukraine's State Emergency Service (SES) announced this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.
"Overnight, the enemy struck Kharkiv using UAVs. After emergency crews arrived at the fire scene, Russian forces carried out a second strike. A fire engine was damaged," the statement reads.
The SES clarified that no personnel were injured, as the firefighters managed to take shelter in time.
In Kherson, a fire broke out at a gas station following morning shelling. While firefighters were extinguishing the blaze, Russian forces deliberately launched another attack on them.
As a result, a fire truck was damaged.
