In the Kharkiv region, while identifying a Russian explosive device that suddenly detonated, a rescuer from the Blyzniuky community – Captain of the Civil Protection Service, 35-year-old Ivan Sieryi – was killed.
According to Ukrinform, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine stated this on Facebook.
"The life of a person who faced danger every day for the sake of others has been cut short. A person for whom service in the State Emergency Service was not a duty but a calling for almost 14 years. Ivan was brave, dedicated, and strong in spirit. He is survived by his parents and his 10-year-old son," said Head of the State Emergency Service Andrii Danyk.
As Ukrinform previously reported, a 36-year-old State Emergency Service rescuer, Oleksandr Zibrov, died in hospital from his injuries after being hit by a repeated Russian strike on January 9 in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district.
