The Russian army is launching round-the-clock devastating strikes on the town, destroying homes and injuring and killing civilians. Despite the danger, the “White Angel” police unit, together with volunteers, continues to evacuate those waiting for help.
The crew arrived in the village a few minutes after an aerial bomb struck a residential area. A man ran toward the officers, pleading for help—a shell had hit his house. The police immediately went to the scene, provided first aid to the injured woman, and took her to the hospital. Fortunately, her injuries were not serious.
Next came the evacuation from the village of Osykove, which is the outermost settlement from the frontline town of Kostiantynivka and borders Oleksievo-Druzhkivka.
Navigating the damaged streets, the “White Angels” reached the home of a couple who had requested assistance. The house had suffered significant damage, and enemy drones had destroyed two cars. However, only the woman was evacuated; the man refused to leave the livestock he was caring for.
From Oleksievo-Druzhkivka, law enforcement officers evacuated a woman who had survived a direct hit on her home. Several people were inside the house during the shelling: three were killed, and one couple miraculously survived. After the tragedy, the wife decided to leave, while her husband stayed behind.
All those evacuated were taken to a safe location. Further assistance will be provided to help people relocate to safer regions of Ukraine.
The police are once again urging citizens not to risk their lives and to evacuate while it is still possible.
