First responders and administration head injured in Russian drone ambush - Video
Two State Emergency Service (SES) first responders, two policemen and the head of the Konstyantynivka military administration were injured in a Russian double-tap FPV drone attack, the Ukrainian Internal Ministry reported on Facebook on Feb. 18, posting video of the aftermath and the evacuation of the wounded.
The first drone targeted the SES vehicle delivering water to residents of this frontline city in Donetsk Oblast, while the second attacked the medics and the evacuation team that arrived at the scene.
“Seconds saved lives. People managed to take shelter in an armored car and move away,” the ministry wrote.
"The police officers and the head of the administration received acupuncture injuries. The car was damaged by the explosion, a wheel was punctured. Paramedics managed to quickly transport the wounded rescuers to hospitals."
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
