Four patients injured as drones damage medical facility in Khmelnytskyi region
Four patients suffered minor injuries after a Russian drone attack damaged a medical facility in western Ukraine, the governor said.
Four patients were injured when Russian drones struck the Khmelnytskyi region of Ukraine, damaging a medical facility, regional governor Serhii Tiurin said on Tuesday, according to 24 Kanal.
The governor said blast effects and debris damaged windows and an entrance area of the medical building. Vehicles parked nearby were also damaged.
Four people receiving treatment inside the facility sustained minor injuries and were given medical assistance. The regional authorities did not report fatalities in the drone attacks.
Air defences operated in the region and intercepted some drones, Tiurin said. The available report did not identify the hospital or specify which incoming drone caused damage at the site.
