Russian forces destroyed one of the units of Ukraine’s State Emergency Service in the Kyiv region with a direct missile hit.

According to Ukrinform, the State Emergency Service (DSNS) reported this on Facebook.

Head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine Andrii Danyk said that a duty shift of 30 rescuers came under attack — fortunately, all of them managed to move to a shelter in time.

Immediately after the explosion, half of the personnel began extinguishing the fire at their own building, while the other half continued receiving emergency calls and coordinating assistance throughout the region.
