In the Donetsk region, a car of the "White Angel" police unit, which was evacuating a family with four children from the village of New York, came under the targeted fire of Russian invaders.

That's according to the Main Directorate of the National Police in Donetsk region, Ukrinform reports.

As noted, this is the second time in the last ten days that the Russian military has attacked the "White Angels".

The shelling took place on Wednesday, May 24, while leaving New York. An enemy shell exploded behind the car. At the time, there were 11 people in the car: five law enforcement officers and a family - a mother, a grandmother and four children aged almost 2 to 14 years.

The force of the explosion was such that the shrapnel pierced the car's armor. One hit a 14-year-old girl, leaving a scratch, and another got stuck in the police officer's vest.
