Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has urged the Security Service of Ukraine to investigate into the bomb threat at Oleksandrivska Hospital.
“Such things should not go unpunished! Yesterday (on Wednesday), the patients were urgently evacuated to a medical facility late at night, which is crucial for treating patients with coronavirus,” Klitschko said during an online briefing on Thursday.
The mayor of the capital thanked the services that worked promptly and professionally checked the information.
“I am grateful to the rescuers for the operational work and checking the hospital buildings. I thank our doctors, who also worked calmly and professionally yesterday,” the mayor said.
In turn, the SBU press center told Interfax-Ukraine: “The SBU, within its competence, together with other law enforcement agencies will identify the authors of this anonymous message.”
