Quote from Haidai: "On 4 May, 2 SES [State Emergency Service] workers, Denys Kolotilov and Hennadiy Muratov, were carrying out a humanitarian mission: they were delivering water to the village of Nyzhnie, in Hirske municipal territorial community [hromada]. Around lunchtime all communication from them ceased.

The search yielded no results: neither the men nor the fire truck [which they were driving] were found."

Details: It is possible that the SES workers were captured by Russian troops, as there was fighting near the village of Nyzhnie that day.

The search continues.
