The central hospital in Vovchansk, occupied by Russian forces, was attacked from the air by Ukrainians. According to reports, there were dozens of Russian soldiers inside. Guided bombs hit the building.

Earlier, the Russian army took over this hospital, killed civilians, and then set up their base in it.

Recordings of this attack are appearing on social media.

The city is almost completely destroyed

Vovchansk, located in eastern Ukraine, has been practically completely destroyed by the Russians. About 100 people remain in the city, reported the Ukrainian agency UNIAN, citing local authorities.

The Russian offensive has practically destroyed the city of Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region, and the Russians continue to level the city with guided aerial bombs, said Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation.

- However, the enemy did not achieve its objective and did not capture the city - he added.

The evacuation of civilians continues in the areas of the Kharkiv region affected by fighting. According to Oleg Synyehubov, head of the Kharkiv regional authorities, around 100 people remain in Vovchansk and even fewer in the locality of Lyptsi.

He noted that evacuation from the northern part of the city, currently occupied by the Russians, is impossible. - Despite the shelling, police officers and volunteers are involved in the evacuation process, operating in the southern part of the city, said Synyehubov.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine commented on the situation on the front in the Kharkiv region: " Although the enemy tried twice to break through the defence, Ukrainian soldiers are keeping the situation under control."
