So, law enforcement officers were informed that there is a child in Bakhmut who needs to be urgently evacuated. The boy lived in an area that was constantly shelled by the invaders. It was almost impossible to get to the place where the child was. However, law enforcement officers organized a rescue flight and went to save the boy.
“Part of the road had to be overcome on foot, leaving an armored car. The police found a child who was sheltered by a neighbor. As it turned out, a few days ago, the parents left their son in the care of a friend and went to the funeral of their relative. At that moment, a shell exploded nearby – the spouses died from shrapnel injured,” the police said.
