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 yesterday, and 28 of them returned home after receiving the necessary medical care.

Quote from Ishchuk: "One of the most complex cases 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 huge challenge during surgery.

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

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