URCS working at sites damaged in Russian drone attacks on Kharkiv
The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) is working at sites damaged during the latest Russian drone attacks.
"Yesterday, overnight and again this morning, Kharkiv came under shelling once more. Volunteers from the Ukrainian Red Cross Emergency Response Unit in Kharkiv region are working at the sites of the strikes. They are inspecting damaged buildings and surrounding areas and carrying out door-to-door visits to identify victims," the URCS said on Facebook on Tuesday.
The volunteers provided first aid to the injured, handed them over to emergency medical teams, and transported some of them to hospitals in their own vehicles. In addition, they provided first psychological aid to both adults and children.
Based on the identified needs, those affected are receiving humanitarian aid, including OSB boards, transit hygiene kits, drinking water and other essential items.
On the morning of April 21, Russian forces struck an administrative building in Kharkiv's Shevchenkivsky district, with no casualties reported. Over the past day, Russian drones attacked three districts of Kharkiv. At least nine people were injured or suffered acute stress reactions.
