Russian airstrike on senior care house in Kursk region leaves woman dead

This was reported by Oleksii Dmytrashkivskyi, press officer for the Ukrainian military commandant's office in the Kursk region, during the United News telethon.

According to Dmytrashkivskyi, the woman was injured by shrapnel to her arm in one of the strikes and died on the morning of January 12. The explosions also shattered the windows and doors of the senior care house.

At the time of the attack, over 70 elderly people, many with disabilities, were inside. 

“The question arose of where to move these people. All of them are elderly, many with disabilities, including Parkinson’s disease, stroke patients, and one person with a mental illness. Their condition at this time is quite serious,” Dmytrashkivskyi said.

He also noted that approximately 2,000 people live in the Ukrainian-controlled territory of Russia.
