State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
"In Sievierodonetsk, the Russian monsters opened fire on a children's hospital. As a result, the roof caught fire. Our emergency responders promptly evacuated 7 young patients and 15 adults, 8 of whom are doctors, to safety".
Emergency responders stress that Sievierodonetsk, Rubizhne, Lysychansk, Popasna, Novodruzhesk and Toshkovka are once again under fire from the Russian army.
Over the past 24 hours, shelling in the Luhansk Region resulted in more than two dozen fires in multi-storey and residential buildings, setting alight outbuildings, garages, general education institutions and infrastructure facilities.
"The Luhansk Oblast State Emergency Service does not have enough rescuers to respond to all the call-outs to fires or destruction caused by shelling. But despite fatigue and enemy shelling, emergency responders continue to carry out their assigned tasks," the State Emergency Service added.
