A Russian bomb struck a hospital in northeastern Ukraine on Wednesday, smashing windows and equipment and prompting the evacuation of dozens of patients, regional officials said.
Volodymyr Tymoshko, head of the Kharkiv regional branch of the national police, said one bomb scored a direct hit on the hospital at about 9:45 p.m. in the town of Velykyi Burluk, northeast of Kharkiv. A second bomb landed nearby.
Writing on Facebook, he said 38 people were evacuated from the facility, all but five of them patients and two confined to hospital beds.
Regional Governor Oleh Synehubov said four people with slight injuries were treated at the site.
Photos posted by Ukrainian Emergency Services on Telegram showed virtually all the hospital's windows shattered. Smashed building materials littered the street outside.
Rooms were shown with damaged equipment and rubble strewn about.
There was no independent verification of the incident, but there have been frequent Russian attacks on targets in the Kharkiv region in recent weeks.
Russia's defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The mayor of Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov, said on Telegram that Russian drones had hit an infrastructure target in the city. There was no immediate word on casualties.
