🚑In Kyiv, a paramedic wounded during a Russian missile strike continued to save people
During the Russian missile attack on Kyiv on 26, two emergency medical workers aged 42 and 49 were injured. Despite their wounds, one of them continued rescuing people at the strike site.
This was reported by the Kyiv Emergency Medical Service and Disaster Medicine Center.
The crew had finished the call and returned to their service vehicle when a powerful explosion sounded nearby. The shock wave shattered the vehicle’s glass, and the shards wounded both workers.
When a second explosion occurred, the paramedic and the medical technician hid under the ambulance.
"This time the vehicle they go out in every day to save lives became their shelter. And it saved them," the Center said.
As a result of the attack, the paramedic sustained a closed chest injury, a laceration to the left hand, and acute barotrauma. The medical technician was diagnosed with blast-related injuries. Despite his wounds, the paramedic continued to provide aid to other victims of the Russian strike. Both ambulance workers were later hospitalized.
The Kyiv City State Administration Department of Health thanked the medics for their professionalism and courage, emphasizing the danger emergency crews face every day.
