During the firefighting operation prompted by enemy shelling from the Russian Federation, Ukrainian firefighters came under repeated artillery fire twice, according to the State Emergency Service.
As a result of the hostile attack, a fire broke out in one of the settlements in the Shostka district.
"The fire was in the residential sector. While extinguishing the fire, rescuers had to urgently leave the scene twice as there were repeated enemy shelling," the service reported.
