A Russian bomb struck a hospital in northeastern Ukraine on Wednesday, smashing windows and equipment and prompting the evacuation of dozens of patients, regional officials said.<\/p>\n

Volodymyr Tymoshko, head of the Kharkiv regional branch of the national police, said one bomb scored a direct hit on the hospital at about 9:45 p.m. in the town of Velykyi Burluk, northeast of Kharkiv. A second bomb landed nearby.<\/p>\n

He wrote on Facebook that 38 people were evacuated from the facility, all but five patients and two confined to hospital beds.<\/p>\n

Regional Governor Oleh Synehubov, writing on Telegram, said emergency teams conducted cleanup operations well into the night, and four people were treated for slight injuries at the site.<\/p>\n\n

Synehubov said quick action by hospital staff in response to air raid alerts ensured a smooth evacuation. Patients were sent to other facilities or switched to outpatient treatment.<\/p>\n

Photos posted by Ukrainian Emergency Services on Telegram showed virtually all the hospital’s windows shattered. Smashed building materials littered the street outside.<\/p>\n

Rooms were shown with damaged equipment and rubble strewn about.<\/p>\n

There was no independent verification of the incident, but there have been frequent Russian attacks on targets in the Kharkiv region in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Russia’s defense ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Russia denies targeting civilian facilities, though medical and educational facilities have been hit in the war, now more than 23 months old.<\/p>\n

The mayor of Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov, said on Telegram that Russian drones had hit an infrastructure target in the city. There was no immediate word on casualties.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
