On the night of September 20, Emergencies Ministry employees extinguishing a fire in Gorlovka were attacked by drones. The fire was caused by shelling and firefighters arrived at the scene to extinguish the fire. However, during the work, several enemy drones were spotted in the sky, one of which headed towards the fire truck.

According to preliminary information, the drone attacked a water tank, which could have led to serious consequences. Fortunately, the firefighters managed to take cover and none of them were hurt. The Ministry of Emergency Situations promptly evacuated personnel from the scene, but the attack significantly complicated the process of extinguishing the fire.

The fires in Gorlovka were the result of recent shelling in the region.
