On March 29, Russian forces attacked a military hospital in Kharkiv with a Shahed drone. Despite the damage, the hospital resumed operations today.
"Once again, Russia committed a crime – using lethal weapons against a medical institution. It's not the first time the hospital has been shelled. This is an act of terrorism," said Eduard Khoroshun, the head of the Military Medical Clinical Center of the Northern Region.
The hospital's Facebook page clarified that, as a result of the Shahed strike, both patients and staff were injured. Additionally, several buildings were damaged. However, operations have now been restored.
"Currently, surgeries have resumed in the operating rooms that were damaged by the blast wave. The hospital cannot stop providing help and treatment to patients for even a moment," the statement read.
They also added that they are not launching a fundraising campaign for the restoration of the facility, as they hope to manage with their own resources.
