Airwars assessment
One civilian, a man, was injured by alleged Ukrainian shelling of Liptsy in Kharkiv region on March 21, 2022.
According to major Russian news site RIA Novosti, quoting Moiseyev, head of the “Rus Triedinaya” NGO, Ukrainian military howitzer shell hit a hospital in Liptsky where about 40 women and children were being prepared for evacuation at 10:00 in the evening.
Presumably Ukrainian Telegram channel with a clear pro-Russian stance Perviy Kharkovskiy posted that as a result of the shelling, one of the villagers sustained a shrapnel wound to the head and that he was transported to Belgorod Oblast (in Russia) where Russian medics are “fighting for his life.” A woman told Perviy Kharkovskiy that “It hit the house, the gazebo started burning. And the dogs were outside, got out, started rescuing the dogs. And then a bomb or a grenade came again. I hid under the house, climbed out – I looked, he was lying there” (translated from Russian).
The local time of the incident is unknown.
