Damaged hotel and smashed cars. Kharkiv suffers almost daily from Russian attacks with S-300 missiles. During January, the Russian military targeted the building where foreign journalists lived for the second time.
At the time of the attack, reporters of the Turkish media Anadolu, Davit Kachcachishvili, and photojournalist Ozge Elifu Kyzilu, were in the building. They received minor injuries.
“Kizil and Kachcachishvili, both in good condition, were taken to hospital for further examination. The car used by the team was damaged during the attack, it is no longer possible to use it, like many other cars near the hotel,” it was reported Media website.
“This hotel complex was really popular among media, including foreign media,” says photographer Yakov Lyashenko. He knew this building well, as he himself repeatedly advised colleagues about the hotel.
On the spot, Jacob saw that in one of the parts of the hotel several rooms had already “just formed”. If there were people, rescuers would not be able to pull them out from under the rubble. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but 13 people were injured.
The head of the investigative department of the National Police of the region, Sergey Bolvinov, added that one of the missiles “S-300” hit the entrance to the hotel, the second hit the roof. In addition, five more houses were damaged by the shock wave and eight cars burned. “The 35-year-old hotel administrator is in serious condition. Investigators have determined that nine people were in the hotel at the time of the explosions.” stated Sergey Bolvinov.
The strikes on the Kiev district of Kharkiv were caused by missiles launched from the territory of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation.
