Quote: "Today the Russians launched an attack on rescue workers who were delivering humanitarian aid to civilians who remain in the war-torn city of Bakhmut.
Luckily, no one was injured in the artillery attack, but a service vehicle from the 47th State Emergency Unit was damaged: the windscreen was cracked, the rear window shattered, and the rear bumper and rear part of the vehicle were slashed."
Details: The State Emergency Service of Ukraine remarked that the rescue workers were using the vehicle to deliver humanitarian aid and water, particularly to a residential building that had been hit by the Russians on the night of 10 December.
"The residents of this apartment block used their own water supply to help the rescue workers put out the fire which started as a result of the attack, so it was important for the rescue workers to return these priceless supplies to the people," the Emergency Service said in its statement.
