Russia struck a Kyiv hospital with a Shahed: four injured, 25 patients evacuated.

According to ТСН: On the night of January 5, Kyiv was once again attacked by Russian terrorists. This time, a private medical center in the Obolon district was hit by an enemy Shahed drone.

Details of the attack

According to the spokesperson of the Main Department of the State Emergency Service in Kyiv, Pavlo Petrov, the strike hit a four-story hospital building at the level of the second floor, where patients were receiving inpatient treatment at the time.

“We understand that Shaheds don't fly in the city at the level of the second floor. This is a direct hit on a medical institution. Pure terror,” emphasized Petrov.

Consequences of the attack

The situation was complicated by the fact that at the moment of the explosion, there were seriously ill patients in the building who required artificial lung ventilation systems. Four injured persons are known, with medical diagnoses of limb injuries, carbon monoxide poisoning, numerous abrasions, and acute stress reactions.

The head of the medical facility, Margarita Malovana, noted that at the time of the attack, there were 26 patients in the institution. Thanks to the joint efforts of the staff and rescuers, 25 individuals were quickly evacuated and transferred to other hospitals in Kyiv for further treatment.

It should be noted that earlier it was reported that the first deputy head of the Department of Patrol Police of Ukraine, Oleksiy Biloshytskyi, published a video with the first footage after the attack on the hospital in Obolon.

This attack is yet another evidence of the threat posed by hostile actions to civilian objects in Ukraine. Seriously ill patients who require medical assistance have once again become targets for Russian terrorists, emphasizing the need for additional measures to protect medical institutions and their patients.
