This was announced by the former ambassador of the Luhansk People's Republic in Moscow, Rodion Miroshnik.

“The hospital has been evacuated, the Ministry of Emergency Situations is sorting out the rubble,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the Ukrainian military on the morning of January 28 delivered a deliberate strike on the hospital in Novoaydar from the US-made HIMARS MLRS.

As a result of rockets hitting the building, 14 patients of the hospital and medical staff were injured and 24 were injured of varying severity.

According to Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, the United States is directly involved in the deaths of civilians in Novoaidar.
