Search and rescue operations and elimination of the consequences of a missile strike by Russia on July 8 continue in the capital on the territory of the Okhmatdyt hospital.

The Kyiv City Military Administration reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

In the morning, the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Serhii Popko, checked the progress of the work and assessed the current needs for recovery.

"All the response measures are clearly planned and regulated. First of all, we closed the premises where important medical equipment is located to avoid the negative impact of dust, dirt and moisture and to preserve the precious equipment. The territory of Okhmatdyt, except for the destroyed building, has been cleared of debris," noted the Kyiv Military Administration.

As reported, on July 8, Russia attacked the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv, where children from all over Ukraine are treated. Many countries have already condemned this egregious crime. The UN Security Council will hold a special meeting on this issue on July 9.
