Russian military forces in Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk region, struck a fire truck twice with FPV drones.

According to Ukrinform, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (DSNS) announced this on Facebook.

"DSNS specialists were on their way to extinguish a fire in a residential building after another enemy shelling attack. At that moment, Russian invaders cynically struck the fire truck with FPV drones," the statement said.

According to the DSNS, the rescuers used electronic warfare systems to divert the drones off course, but the drones still hit the vehicle.
