Very effectively worked again in Kharkiv region near Balakleya. You know that this city is still experiencing rocket attacks. It was like that when we were there. I heard whistling and rumbling, but I thought it was my controllers about to detonate explosive objects. But for some reason Mikhail quickly moved me into cover and covered me with himself. Then I realised it was an enemy missile. Very close. Unfortunately, one man was killed at the time and nine others were wounded. I was in cover, my man saved me," Patron wrote on his social media page.

At the same time, Patron urged everyone to observe safety rules and run for cover during the alarm.
