Latest missile hit on Ukraine medical facility leaves rescuers searching through night

A missile hit on a medical center in south-eastern Ukraine turned into a night-long rescue mission as teams searched through concrete pieces. The attack that happened on 12/11 in Ivan Fedorovs region left six people dead and four more trapped beneath the ruins

The emergency crews managed to save two women from under collapsed walls (working through darkness with special equipment); while 22 others got different injuries. “Our citys emergency teams are at the scene doing everything possible“ Fedorov wrote on his social-media

This hit comes right after another strike that happened last friday which took ten lives and hurt more than twenty people in the same area. Both Ukraine and Russia say they dont target regular people but aim at important war-related buildings instead

Volodymyr Zelenskiy reached out to western partners asking for help with air-shield systems: he specified that 10-12 Patriots would make Ukrainian skies safe. The country has been asking for better air-defense since the war started almost 3 years ago

  • Building parts blocking rescue work
  • Night conditions making search harder
  • Limited rescue equipment available
  • Need for careful debris removal
