The attack occurred near the border with Russia on territory controlled by Ukraine, the press service reported. 

The ambulance with two soldiers inside was driving from the village of Komyshne to Syze when was hit by gunfire, which killed one soldier (a 46-year-old man) and seriously wounded another. The second soldier is now in a serious condition in hospital.

"Sabotage and reconnaissance groups often penetrate the area from Russian territory,” Moskal said.

“The militants lay mines, which have already blown up two military vehicles, and carry out other sabotage activities. Yesterday they shot at a medical [vehicle], paying no regard to the fact that the car had special [ambulance] markings."
