The port city of Nikolaev, located in southern Ukraine, near Odessa, was pounded Friday night through Saturday, with the bombings hitting, among other things, a cancer care center and an ophthalmology hospital, a French Agency reporter reported.
The windows of the cancer center, which had recently been renovated and where cancer patients undergo daily chemotherapy, were broken.
“They bombed political areas, without any military targets. There is a hospital, an orphanage, an ophthalmology center here, all in the Ingulsky district in the north of the city,” said Dmitry Lagochev, the hospital’s director.
At the time of the strikes, no patient, not even a health professional, was at the cancer center. However, there were patients in the ophthalmology hospital, the number of whom has not been clarified.
“We spent the whole night in the basement, everything was shaking. The patients were terrified,” said Kasimira Rilkova, the director.
In the Ingulsky district, residents no longer have heating and many have been forced to flee.
