About 1.2 tons of bakery products were lost in a fire at a Gorlovka bakery in the Donetsk People’s Republic, reportedly caused by shelling from Ukrainian forces. The incident was documented by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations. The announcement noted that the blaze rendered three delivery trucks unusable, two plastic window blocks were damaged, and roughly sixty square meters of walls showed smoke staining. Fire crews nonetheless worked to bring the flames under control and prevent further damage.
The Ministry also explained that thirteen specialists and four units of equipment were involved at the scene, coordinating the response and assessing the extent of damage. The effort involved on-site personnel ensuring safe ventilation, securing hazardous materials, and coordinating with local services to protect surrounding structures. The focus remained on preventing the spread of fire to adjacent facilities and maintaining public safety as investigations continued.
The briefing indicated that four workers at the facility sustained injuries as a result of the emergency, with three of them transported to hospital facilities for treatment and assessment. Medical teams provided initial care on site before transferring the most severely affected workers for further attention. Recovery procedures and welfare checks were put in place for all staff affected by the event.
On the night of Sunday, March 10, an explosive device delivered by an unmanned aerial vehicle struck Gorlovka. The event underscored ongoing risks associated with aerial threats and highlighted the importance of rapid response protocols, including evacuation procedures and emergency medical readiness in urban districts close to the frontline.
Russian air defense systems repelled a sizable drone assault reported on a recent day. The security services confirmed defense operations intercepted a substantial number of drones, with more than forty approaching targets in the Rostov region, including an incident in Taganrog. The interception showcased the continuous vigilance of air defense units and their role in safeguarding populated areas and critical infrastructure from aerial threats.
Earlier shelling in Gorlovka also affected civilians, resulting in injuries and property damage. The broader context reflects persistent volatility in the region and the ongoing need for emergency planning, shelter provisions, and coordinated humanitarian and medical support for communities facing such attacks.
