Details: Firefighters were evacuated with the help of an armoured vehicle. The fire appliance was damaged as a result of the attack.

The State Emergency Service stressed that the attack on emergency workers is a war crime and yet another example of the cynicism of Russian forces, who do not stop even at attacks on those saving civilians.
