The Patrol Police have released bodycam footage showing the first minutes after a Russian strike on one of Kyiv's districts, the Kyiv Patrol Police reports.
"Another horrific night in the capital… As a result of the combined attack, residential buildings, warehouses, and vehicles were damaged. Sadly, there are injured and dead. Once again, we spent the entire night alongside people, rescuing them from enemy shelling," the Patrol Police stated.
Risking their own lives and health, police officers ensured the passage of emergency vehicles, directed traffic, and evacuated civilians to safe locations.
"During the enemy attack, one of our patrol officers was also injured. The crew was blocking traffic when a missile fell nearby. The patrol car sustained mechanical damage, and the officer was hospitalized," the statement says.
