Details: The rescue workers were evacuating a 71-year-old woman and her 70-year-old husband from a frontline settlement. Three State Emergency Service employees were in the vehicle with them.

At that moment, Russian forces struck the vehicle with two FPV drones. The drones exploded near the vehicle, making it impossible to continue driving.

No one was injured in the attack. The evacuated people were taken to Zaporizhzhia in another service vehicle.

Quote: "This case once again demonstrates the cynicism of the Russians: they even strike evacuation vehicles carrying rescue workers and civilians.

Despite the constant danger, rescue officers continue their work – evacuating people from frontline areas and saving lives."

Background: On the night of 8-9 March, Russian forces struck the city of Zaporizhzhia, damaging a house.
