Over the course of the day, Russian forces repeatedly attacked the Khmelnytskyi region with strike drones. During one of the attacks, windows and the entrance area of a medical facility in the region were damaged, according to Serhii Tyurin, head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Military Administration.
The blast wave also damaged cars parked near the medical facility.
Four patients who were receiving treatment sustained minor injuries. They were provided with the necessary medical assistance. No fatalities were reported.
The Air Force reported around 4:30 a.m. Kyiv time that jet-powered drones were moving past Murovani Kurylivtsi in the Vinnytsia region toward the Khmelnytskyi region.
After 8 a.m., the Air Force also reported a jet-powered drone moving through Letychiv in the Khmelnytskyi region in a northwesterly direction.
Russian forces have attacked medical facilities in Ukraine on previous occasions. For example, recently, Russian forces struck a hospital in Zaporizhzhia, sparking a fire. People had to be evacuated.
In August, a Russian attack in Kyiv also damaged a children's hospital.
