Russian forces hit the operating theatre of the Strazhesko Institute of Cardiology in Kyiv on Tuesday, 20 October, prime minister Serhiy Koretsky said. Russia has been fighting a full-scale war against Ukraine since February 2022.
One patient was wounded and, according to the prime minister, got all the care he needed. No one at the institute was killed.
"This is the second time. Last year the strike hit the fourth floor of the institute, and now it hit the sixth, where the operating theatre is," Koretsky said.
The strike was part of a Russian attack on Kyiv with strike drones on Tuesday. Three civilians were killed and four more were hurt.
The institute treats people with heart disease from all over Ukraine. Surgeons operate there, and doctors treat patients after heart attacks.
