Attacks on civilian infrastructure

According to Главком: Russian troops carried out attacks on medics, a music school, and energy facilities in the Chernihiv region and Odesa, causing significant damage. In Semenivka, an attack occurred on an ambulance, resulting in injuries to two medics aged 47 and 54. The attack happened as the medics were returning from a call, and an enemy drone hit their vehicle. Over the past day, 31 attacks were recorded in the Chernihiv region.

Additional attacks

Additionally, in Novhorod-Siverskyi, a music school and an energy facility were attacked. On the night of January 12, the Russian army also attacked Odesa using drones, damaging an infrastructure facility. Furthermore, a strike was carried out in Kramatorsk in Donetsk region, where a boiler house was destroyed.

Vyacheslav Chaus, commenting on the attack on medics, noted: 'The ambulance vehicle is damaged. A conscious strike against the people who save lives.'

These events indicate a growing threat to civilians and medical personnel amid the ongoing conflict.

Attacks on medical personnel and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine highlight the increasing risks for doctors and medics working in combat zones. At the same time, these actions can have serious consequences for the provision of medical services and the overall health status of the population. The continuation of aggression against civilian objects indicates an escalation of violence and the need for international response to these violations.
