On Sunday, March 2, a road crew repairing the frontline road towards Pokrovsk was attacked by a drone, reports "Vydamo" citing "Avtomagistral-Yug".
"Two workers sustained concussions! The repair of frontline roads is becoming increasingly dangerous. Russian drones are actively hunting for equipment and personnel. Our team was working on one of the roads heading towards Pokrovsk. The frontline is about 10 km away. This road supports the logistics of the Ukrainian forces and is also a crucial evacuation route," the statement reads.
An emergency repair was being carried out to fix potholes. When a thermos with hot asphalt arrived at the site, an explosion occurred. Shelling began, and the repair crew had to urgently evacuate from the work area.
