Attacks on emergency rescue units in Ukraine

In August and September 2026, Russian forces repeatedly targeted emergency rescue units in Ukraine, particularly in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and Kramatorsk. Initial strikes did not result in casualties among rescuers, but on September 13, four were injured in a drone attack. While responding to fires caused by Russian strikes, rescuers faced a secondary attack but managed to avoid injuries by taking shelter.
