Russian forces attacked the Zaporizhzhia region today. As a result, a fire broke out in a nine-story apartment building of Orikhiv, as the Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhia region reports.
According to the statement, a fire erupted in a nine-story residential building spanning an area of 450 square meters.
The complexity of the emergency response was caused by the continuous shelling of the city by Russian forces. Additionally, the fire occurred on floors 5-9, adding to the challenge.
"During the operation of the specialized equipment, Orikhiv came under renewed shelling, significantly complicating the efforts of the emergency responders. In order to ensure the safety of personnel, SESU staff temporarily suspended operations at height. The fire has been successfully extinguished, and there are no reported casualties or injuries," explained the agency.
