Summary

A first responder, Anton Yarmolenko, was among 15 people killed in Russia's massive overnight aerial attack on Dnipro, Ukraine. Yarmolenko, a major in the civilian protection service and deputy chief of a fire and rescue detachment, died after arriving at an attack site to help victims and being struck by Russia's "double-tap" follow-up strike — a tactic where a second strike targets rescuers responding to the initial attack.
