Russian occupying forces attacked an ambulance vehicle with a drone on Friday afternoon in the village of Yasnohirka in Donetsk region. The strike killed one ambulance worker and wounded two other people.

The head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, Vadym Filashkin, reported the attack. He said that when a Russian "Lancet" strike drone hits an ambulance driving through a town, it is hard to call it anything other than hunting down those who save lives.

Details of the attack

According to Filashkin, the strike occurred around midday on Friday. An enemy drone hit an emergency medical vehicle, killing one crew member and injuring two others.

Previous similar incident

The regional administration head recalled a similar case that had occurred earlier in Kherson, where a Russian drone struck an ambulance, wounding three members of an emergency medical team.
