Strike on Izyum

As noted, the tragic event occurred in the city of Izyum when the enemy struck the city.

"She was at home with her husband. The enemy mercilessly took the lives of the police officer and her husband right in their own home. Iryna was one of the first patrol officers in Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Conscientious, diligent and loyal to her oath to the Ukrainian people, she was always there when her help was needed," the statement said.

"The death of our colleague is an irreparable loss for her family, colleagues and the entire police community. This is yet another proof of the criminal actions of the aggressor state, which deliberately shells the civilian population and residential areas," the police added.

Iryna is survived by her 15-year-old son.
