Details: It was reported that the fibre-optic FPV drone had been lying in wait before the strike.

The vehicle was carrying a US citizen from the humanitarian organisation Plain Compassion Crisis Response, two officers from the Bilyi Yanhol (White Angel) unit of the Ukrainian police and a Donbas.Realii journalist.

The volunteer who was driving suffered shrapnel wounds to his face. The journalist was not hurt.

"We were just driving and then suddenly, bang, bang. I don't really understand what actually happened. We're here to evacuate people; I'm from the United States. I'm a bit disoriented right now," said volunteer Devon Musser after receiving first aid.

More details: It is reported that the vehicle was completely burnt out.
