Quote from Danyk: "A sudden structural collapse occurred while crews were dealing with the aftermath of the enemy attack and extinguishing a large fire at warehouses in Yahotyn, Kyiv Oblast. The incident claimed the life of Chief Master Sergeant Mykhailo Protsenko, a 30-year-old firefighter from the 22nd Fire and Rescue Unit – our comrade, a person of honour and devotion to the rescue mission. Mykhailo leaves behind a wife and two young sons.

Master Sergeant Serhii Khobotnia, a 49-year-old section commander of the 22nd Fire and Rescue Unit, was also injured and is currently under medical supervision."
