Russia strikes operating room
Koretskyi noted that Russian forces had struck the hospital for the second time.
"This time, the operating room of the National Scientific Center 'M.D. Strazhesko Institute of Cardiology' in Kyiv was hit," he clarified.
According to him, last year the strike hit the fourth floor of the institute, while this time it hit the sixth floor, where the operating room is located.
"Fortunately, there were no fatalities. One patient was injured and received all the necessary medical care," the prime minister said.
The institute saves the lives of people with heart diseases from across Ukraine, the official noted. Doctors perform surgeries, care for patients recovering from heart attacks, and give Ukrainians a new lease on life.
On the morning of October 20, a Russian drone struck near a gas station in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district. One person was killed.
In addition, Russian forces attacked vehicles on the Kyiv-Odesa highway this morning. Three people were killed in the attack, and others were injured.
