Quote: "The aggressor once again attacked the city of Nizhyn. Using Shahed and Geran drones, they struck one of the State Emergency Service units. Cynical and cruel: on the Day of Emergency Workers [17 September – ed.], they targeted rescue workers. Sadly, a 45-year-old emergency worker died from his injuries."

Details: Chaus added that two more rescue workers, aged 31 and 36, were injured and taken to hospital.
