Russian military forces conducted an attack on the city of Bohodukhiv in the Kharkiv region, resulting in injuries to at least 12 individuals, several of whom required hospitalization due to blast injuries.
The initial reports indicated that a 66-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were among those hospitalized with serious injuries. Additionally, a 48-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman experienced acute stress reactions and received medical assistance.
As the situation unfolded, the number of injured increased. Medical personnel transported a 36-year-old, a 47-year-old, and a 53-year-old man, along with a 33-year-old woman, to the hospital for treatment of blast-related injuries.
