Russians attack Volyn: fire breaks out at parking area, one person injured

On the night of November 12, the Volyn region was subjected to another Russian aerial attack, which triggered a large-scale fire at a parking area in the Kovel district. The strike set several trucks ablaze—including a large fuel tanker—and left a man, born in 1972, injured.

This was reported by the State Emergency Service (SES) of Ukraine.

Rescue units arrived promptly at the scene to extinguish the blaze. While fighting the fire, SES personnel also cooled down nearby vehicles and moved two heavy-duty trucks loaded with fuel to a safe distance, preventing a potentially greater tragedy.

The situation at the scene was complicated by significant risks to the lives of the emergency responders. Operations had to be temporarily suspended due to the threat of a follow-up Russian strike. Despite these challenges, the professional actions of the SES team succeeded in fully extinguishing the fire and stabilizing the situation.
