A 50-year-old nurse, Oksana Katerusha, was among those killed last week in a Russian drone strike on the Cardiology Institute in Kyiv. The attack resulted in multiple casualties and damage to the healthcare facility amid ongoing conflicts.
According to reports, Katerusha was assisting a patient experiencing a medical emergency at the time of the strike. Both she and the patient were fatally injured during the incident, which has drawn condemnation from Ukrainian officials and the international community.
The strike has highlighted the risks faced by healthcare workers operating in conflict zones, with authorities emphasizing the need to safeguard medical facilities under international humanitarian laws. The incident remains under investigation as authorities assess the extent of the attack and its impact on local healthcare infrastructure.
