Details: There are four children in St Panteleimon's Hospital, three in St Luke's Hospital, and three in St Nicholas' Children's Hospital.

In total, 54 people were taken to hospital over the previous day; 28 of them returned home after receiving the necessary medical care.

Quote from Ishchuk: "One of the most difficult patients is a 22-year-old young woman with a missile shard near her heart, which was spotted during emergency medical care. She is at St Panteleimon's Hospital, where our surgeons managed to remove the piece, which was a great challenge during surgery.

The patient is now in stable condition in the cardiac intensive care unit. Her condition is moderate," Ishchuk said.

More details: Ishchuk noted that all patients are stable and there is no threat to their lives. He said that most of the patients who suffered from the Russian missile strike had chest and abdominal injuries. Many people also sustained shrapnel wounds to the head, neck and limbs.
