Eyewitnesses said that firefighters and police quickly arrived at the scene. “Everything is under control. Of course, they want to intimidate,” State Duma deputy Badma Bashankaev commented on the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
DPR Health Minister Dmitry Gartsev added that this was the third shelling of the hospital in the last 2 weeks: “One of the walls of the polyclinic collapsed, its courtyard was destroyed. And a fire started in the nearby building of the Medical University.”
