He said four white vehicles with UN markings came under attack. One truck burned down, another was seriously damaged, while two others managed to escape. There were no reported casualties.
“Today, the so-called ‘second army of the world’ defeated several tons of humanitarian aid,” Prokudin wrote on Telegram. “Terrorists - there’s nothing more to say here.”
This is not the first time Russian forces have targeted humanitarian missions in Ukraine.
In early September, a Russian missile strike on Chernihiv killed several people working with a humanitarian demining team.
In July, a Russian drone attack on Mykolaiv hit the base of the Norwegian People’s Aid organization, which supports demining operations across Ukraine.
In June, Russian forces struck a humanitarian aid warehouse in Zaporizhzhia, causing an estimated $3 million in damage. Just days later, another attack destroyed the city council building in Siversk, Donetsk region, where residents had gathered to receive aid.
