Three Medics Injured as Russian Drone Strikes Ambulance During Easter Night

Russian forces attacked an ambulance with a drone in the Hlukhiv community of the Sumy region in the early hours of Orthodox Easter, injuring three medical workers, Sumy Regional Military Administration Head Oleh Hryhorov reported on Sunday, April 12.

The medics received immediate emergency care, and officials confirmed their lives are not in danger. “The enemy cynically continues to attack civilian infrastructure. Be as careful as possible,” the regional administration stated in a Telegram post following the strike.

The attack represents an escalation of ceasefire violations during the holiday period. Although Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a 32-hour truce to begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday, the Ukrainian General Staff has already recorded hundreds of breaches. Throughout the first hours of the “holiday silence,” Russian forces utilized 19 “Lancet” and “Molniya” kamikaze drones and hundreds of FPV drones against both military and civilian targets.

President Volodymyr Zelensky had previously warned that the Ukrainian military would respond “immediately” to any provocations, adhering to a strict mirror-response policy. “The absence of Russian strikes... will mean no response from our side,” Zelensky noted prior to the holiday.

The persistent strikes on civilian transport and medical personnel follow a deadly morning on Saturday, where drone and artillery strikes killed four people across southern and eastern Ukraine just hours before the truce was set to begin.
