Firefighters in Zaporizhzhia demonstrated the extensive destruction and consequences of a massive attack that struck this Ukrainian city on the evening of May 6
According to reports from the State Emergency Service, during this attack, two civilians were rescued and extricated after being trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings. This once again underscores the scale of what happened and the tireless efforts of rescuers who worked relentlessly to assist the victims. Official information states that between 21:55 and 22:20 on the evening of May 6, Russian forces carried out a massive drone attack on the city. As a result, both private residential buildings and critical infrastructure were damaged, reflecting the severity and destructive power of the assault. Particularly affected was one residential complex: the building was completely destroyed, and a large fire breaking out covered an area of about 50 square meters. Firefighters promptly arrived at the scene, extricated and handed over to medical personnel two people trapped under the rubble. According to the representatives of the SES, the fire was quickly extinguished, but search and rescue operations are ongoing, and the number of injured is still being clarified. Equally important is the information about the aftermath of a second incident that also occurred in the city that same evening. Emergency services managed a fire that engulfed at least ten garages spanning over 200 square meters. As a result, more than a dozen passenger cars were damaged or destroyed by debris and flames. Another critical aspect of this operation was citizen support. According to the SES, psychologists assisted 13 residents of the city, including a child, who experienced stress and fear following the explosions and destruction. All emergency services — rescue workers, police, medics — operated in a coordinated manner to swiftly contain the aftermath of the attack and ensure residents' safety. This is not the first time Zaporizhzhia has become a target of enemy attacks, but each time Ukrainian rescuers demonstrate a high level of professionalism and courage. Local residents and city authorities once again react cohesively to the crisis, developing plans for recovery and aid for the victims. Meanwhile, the situation remains tense — search and cleanup operations are still underway, and ongoing shelling by Russian forces causes further casualties and destruction. The photos and videos provided by the SES vividly show the scale of the destruction and the actions of rescuers working as quickly and efficiently as possible in such critical situations. They are a clear example of the resilience and high professionalism of Ukraine’s emergency services, who manage to keep the situation under control every day despite continuous enemy attacks. It is worth noting that Ukrainian officials and advocates continue to urge residents to stay calm and trust rescue and psychological services, which are doing everything possible to protect and support those affected. As they warn of the potential for further shelling, the country fights for every settlement and every citizen, for their lives and dignity. --- If you need more details or additional information, please let me know.
