Tunggalian · Kyiv medical strikesKyiv drone strikes: Operating room hit, city injuries rise to 18Isinulat Oktubre 21, 2026 nang 1:15 AM UTCManoodTranskripsyon0:07A Russian drone struck a Cardiac Institute's operating room and injured a patient.0:11Kiev's evening toll reached one killed and 18 injured, with 12 still in hospital.0:16A highway strike killed at least three, but those casualties can't be combined with0:20the city count.0:21How the damage has affected cardiac treatment and how those casualty figures overlap0:25are still unresolved.0:26The drone hit the sixth-floor operating room at the Strazesko Institute on October0:3120th, 2026.0:32One patient was wounded and received care.0:35The Institute belongs to the National Academy of Medical Sciences and treats heart0:39patients from across Ukraine.0:41In Solomiansky District, a drone struck a healthcare facility's upper floor and0:45partially destroyed its roof.0:47In Holosivsky District, debris damaged another medical facility during the0:51afternoon.0:51These medical facility impacts came during repeated daytime attacks after the0:55morning strike on commuter traffic.0:57Mayor Vitaly Klitschko put the evening city injury count at 18, with 12 people still1:02hospitalized.1:03He also reported one person killed in Kiev.1:05The 12 hospital patients were part of that later injury total.1:08Earlier in the afternoon, Klitschko had reported two injured.1:12The city's military administration subsequently raised that count to five while the1:16attacks continued.1:17Police later put it at 12 and described damage across five districts.1:21Those were successive injury counts as the day unfolded.1:24The evening update therefore replaced the earlier total of 12 injured.1:28It also used 12 for a different measure, the people remaining in hospital.1:32Adding the preliminary counts together would count people more than once, and the1:36highway casualties need to be kept separate from that calculation.1:39The Institute had already suffered a strike on another floor the previous year.1:43Prime Minister Serhi Koretsky described this as the second attack on it.1:47He said the earlier impact hit the fourth floor and this one hit the sixth.1:51The institute performs heart surgery and helps patients recover after heart attacks.1:55Its patients come from well beyond the capital.1:58The damage reached an operating room inside that National Cardiac Care Service.2:02The wounded patient received treatment.2:04and no death was reported at the institute.2:07Emergency crews also rescued four people from the upper floors of a damaged2:10administrative building in Holosievsky after fire broke out.2:14Other buildings in the district were damaged too.2:16The four people brought out were counted as rescues without an additional injury2:20count attached to them.2:21Cars burned near a petrol station in the Kiev-Odessa highway area close to Chebeny.2:26The morning drone crash happened near Kiev's administrative boundary.2:30Some descriptions placed it in Holosievsky district, while others placed the highway2:34scene on the regional side.2:35Klitschko's early boundary area figures were one killed and six injured, followed by2:40one killed and seven injured.2:42Emergency authorities later gave at least three killed and four injured for the2:45highway strike.2:46Nobody has explained whether those changes reflect the same victims or different2:50geographic areas.2:52The Evening City tally was one killed and eighteen injured.2:54The highway toll was at least three killed and four injured.2:57Authorities haven't reconciled who falls into each count, so there's no supported3:01combined toll for both areas.3:02The road strike and the medical facility impacts happened at different points during3:06the same day of repeated drone activity.3:08The morning attack burned vehicles near commuter traffic.3:11Further daytime attacks damaged medical buildings and sent emergency crews to fires3:15elsewhere across the city.3:16The northern bridge wasn't hit.3:18City authorities explicitly corrected early social media claims after a substantial3:22fire nearby in Desnyansky district.3:24Emergency services also reported a community garage fire there.3:28Traffic disruption was possible while officials inspected the consequences of the3:31nearby attack.3:32Debris also fell onto railway tracks in Solomiansky without starting a fire.3:37In Obolon, debris landed on a market where officials were still investigating the3:41consequences.3:42A later afternoon impact hit an energy facility in Shevchenkovsky and emergency3:47crews were dispatched.3:48The railway market and energy facility incidents extended the damage beyond the3:52medical sites.3:53Police described consequences across five districts.3:56Alongside the wounded patient, crews faced burning buildings and vehicles and the3:59upper floor rescue in Holosivsky.4:01The evening injury count had risen to 18, but authorities still needed to reconcile4:05it with the highway casualties.4:07They also hadn't said whether the operating room damage interrupted cardiac4:10treatment at the Strojesko Institute.Basahin ang artikuloTakbo ng kuwento sa panahonHeyDexAng maikling video ↗Kaugnay na coverageKasunod na pangyayari·Okt 22, 8:04 PM UTCSix
