As a result of the attack, a Ukrainian translator of ZDF was injured, who was diagnosed with fractures. Six employees of the TV channel, who were on different floors of the hotel, “miraculously survived”. The hotel manager confirmed that a total of 15 rooms were rented out and at least ten of them were reserved for journalists.
The Russian Defense Ministry earlier announced a missile strike on the “former hotel complex” Kharkiv Palace, claiming that representatives of the GUR and the AFU, who were planning the recent shelling of Belgorod, were killed.
