On the way, frightened residents recited prayers, the police noted.Among the evacuees was an elderly woman who had twice been rescued from under the rubble.“I was in the apartment — something hit. Everything burned, they pulled me out. I went to the basement — and after another strike I was buried there, they dug me out,” she said.At the entrance to Bilytske, law enforcement noticed a couple with a dog on a leash. They were walking on foot from Rodynske. After a direct hit, their house burned down, and they were urgently seeking safety.The White Angels delivered all the evacuees to a safe location, from where volunteers sent them to safer regions.In October of last year, the Russians attacked the White Angels with FPV drones as they were evacuating civilians from the Sumy region.
