A Russian drone struck an ambulance in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, injuring three medical workers and sparking renewed concerns over violations of a declared Easter ceasefire.
The attack occurred in the Hlukhiv community, where emergency responders were targeted while on duty, The Caspian Post reports via Ukrainian media.
The drone directly hit an ambulance vehicle, causing an explosion that left three medics injured. Officials confirmed that all victims received medical assistance and their lives are not in danger.
Governor of Sumy region Oleh Hryhorov condemned the strike, warning that attacks on civilian infrastructure continue despite the ceasefire announcement.
The incident comes amid an Orthodox Easter ceasefire declared by Russia, which Ukrainian officials say has been repeatedly violated on the ground.
The Sumy region has faced frequent drone and missile strikes in recent weeks, with residential buildings, a kindergarten, and other civilian infrastructure among the reported targets. Earlier attacks also damaged a shopping center and administrative facilities, injuring multiple civilians.
The security situation remains unstable, with drone strikes increasingly affecting populated areas and emergency services. Residents have been urged to remain vigilant as hostilities continue.
