The crew of the White Angel came under fire in the Avdiivka sector, an explosion occurred a hundred meters from the vehicle.

At the time of the attack, police were evacuating two residents of Ocheretyne aged 94 and 77 from the combat zone.

"The day before, enemy shells exploded near their house. This forced the women to seek help from the police. While the policemen were loading their belongings and helping people to get into the armored car, the invaders attacked the village - a hundred meters from the crew," said law enforcement officers.

No one was injured in the attack.

During the week, police evacuated 10 residents of the Ocheretyne community from danger. One of them lived in the village of Zhelanne. Russian shells hit her house, and the woman was miraculously unharmed, but after that she decided to evacuate.
