"Today, the Russians shot at the rescuers who were delivering humanitarian aid to people who remain in the war-torn Bakhmut. Fortunately, no one was injured," the press service of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine posted on Telegram.

At the same time, it is noted that a vehicle of the 47th state fire and rescue unit was damaged in artillery shelling: the windshield was cracked, the rear window was broken, the rear bumper and the rear part of the vehicle were riddled.

"The rescuers used this vehicle to deliver humanitarian aid and water, particularly to a house struck by the Russians on the night of December 11. The residents of the apartment block helped the rescuers put out the fire caused by the shelling with their water, so it was important for the State Emergency Service employees to return people their precious reserves," the State Emergency Service added.

As reported, nine houses were damaged and two people were injured due to Russian attacks on Donetsk region on December 11. Pokrovsk and Bakhmut districts came under the heaviest fire.
