While the firefighter from Priluki was at another location in the city, the Russian military committed another war crime - a drone attack that claimed the lives of his entire family. According to information from the State Emergency Service (GSCHS), during the performance of his official duties, the head of the local fire department lost his wife, his daughter - a patrol police officer, and her one-year-old son. The bodies of the three were found under the rubble of a residential building destroyed by a Russian drone.

Interior Minister Igor Klymenko expressed deep condolences for this immense tragedy and stressed that words are powerless in the face of such irreparable loss. There are no words to express the pain and suffering caused by this savage act.
