Quote from the police: "In Druzhkivka, a Russian FPV drone struck the White Angels as they were evacuating a man with reduced mobility in a wheelchair and his son. Journalists from the Inter TV channel captured the cynical attack on camera.

Three police officers, as well as both evacuees, sustained shrapnel injuries. All survived and are currently receiving medical treatment."
