The Russian army continues to terrorize the city of Kupiansk in the Kharkiv region with shelling. This time, a drone struck near an emergency medical vehicle.
This was reported by RBK-Ukraine, citing the head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, Oleg Synegubov, on Telegram.
According to him, the enemy targeted an emergency medical vehicle with a loitering munition based on an FPV drone. As a result, another civilian vehicle was also damaged.
Initially, Synegubov reported that the driver of the ambulance was injured during the shelling and was hospitalized.
However, he later clarified that three medical workers were injured as a result of the enemy's FPV drone attack: the aforementioned 43-year-old driver, a 26-year-old doctor, and a 41-year-old paramedic. They are experiencing acute stress reactions.

Also, in early December, in the vicinity of the village of Novomlynsk in the Kupiansk district, the Russians attempted to seize and hold a foothold on the right bank of the Oskil River.
Recently, the Russian army struck Kupiansk with a "Molniya" drone, targeting a law enforcement vehicle.
