The enemy dropped an explosive device from a drone on the outskirts of the Znob-Novhorodske hromada. The two brothers were injured by this explosive. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Medics arrived at the scene to provide first aid and hospitalise the brothers. On the way to the hospital, the Russians deliberately attacked the ambulance with a strike UAV. The vehicle caught fire. Only the driver managed to survive. He sustained severe burns and is in hospital now."

Background: On 21 February, Russian forces attacked a civilian vehicle in the Shostka hromada in Sumy Oblast, killing two people and injuring one.
