We can see the fire consuming the building. Powerful flames peek out from the center of the blood donation center, illuminating all the windows. Above the object - instead of the roof - you can see huge, thick clouds of smoke.

The response to the hit on the Russian tanker?
The city of Kupiansk and nearby settlements were occupied by Russian troops in the first days of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launched in February 2022. The area was liberated during the Ukrainian counter-offensive last September.
The Ukrainian leader did not say how many people were killed and injured in the attack. Russia, in turn, denies any allegations of war crimes or targeting of civilians.
The attack on the blood donation center came hours after Russia accused Ukraine of striking a Russian oil tanker with 11 crew members in the Black Sea.
