The head of the Chernihiv Regional Military Administration, Vyacheslav Chaus, reported that Russian forces struck a hospital in the town of Semenivka, Chernihiv region, on April 13. One person was injured, and two departments of the facility were damaged.
"Russians have once again attacked a hospital. They used attack drones. There is damage. The intensive care and dental departments were hit," Chaus said.
According to him, a nurse from the Semenivka City Hospital was injured in the drone strike.
"A treacherous attack — and sadly, not the first. And it happened on a major religious holiday, Palm Sunday. These Russian criminals have nothing human left in them," Chaus added.
He also shared photos of the aftermath of the strike on the hospital.
