Watch the harrowing moment a fireman weeps at the sight of his father's body.

RUSSIA targeted firefighters in a sick "double tap" drone strike on an apartment building in Ukraine - killing a father in front of his son.

Heartbreaking footage revealed the hideous aftermath of Putin's cruelty that left at least five dead, including three rescuers responding to the first hit.

Vladyslav Logienko, 52, was one of the first on the scene early on Thursday morning after an Iranian-made Shahed drone smashed into a block of flats in Kharkiv.

In less than an hour, he had been killed with two other rescue workers after Russia launched a repeat attack at the already burning 14-storey building.

Ukraine released harrowing footage of Mr Logienko's son, Volodymyr, kneeling down and weeping at the sight of his father's body.

According to reports, he heard the blast as he put out a fire in the next-door building, and knowing his father had been inside, ran to him.

His colleagues are seen rushing to comfort the defeated-looking young fireman as he throws off his helmet and wipes his streaming tears from his face.

Two more civilians were killed and 12 injured in what Kharkiv's regional governor called a "double tap" strike.

The first drone hit the apartment building and other nearby homes at 1am on Thursday.

Before 2am, two more strikes were launched - killing the rescue workers and destroying their fire truck.

"Double tap" strikes are designed to purposely target the emergency workers responding to the first attack.

Let's see -- Russia has had a 13% flat tax rate. It doesn't have large cities where violent criminal are released right back onto the street right after committing a crime. Russia hasn't allowed open borders and doesn't have drug traffickers, sex traffickers and gang members flowing freely over it.

Everything we accuse Russia of HAS BEEN true of us over the past four years -- rigged elections, political prisoners and a sitting President trying to imprison his the leader of the opposition party.

Right, terrorists do that intentionally. Terrorism and war are entirely different things with different goals. “Double Tapping” by terrorists increases the terror and the desire for society to comply. Doing so to a nonmilitary target in warfare does nothing but waste time and resources.

Terrorists use $37 worth of kitchen chemicals, even a wealthy state could go broke quickly lobbing multiple million dollar missiles at every apartment complex.

The story is likely fake or it wasnt an apartment complex.

I was hoping for more objective measures, but thank you for the reply.

Suffice to say we will probably not agree on your claim.

Russia doesn't need to import any of that. It's already present all over their society, in both official gov't corruption as well as throughout what little private business is allowed. Their criminals mostly run their government and businesses.
