Kyiv: After a Karnataka student lost his life in Kharkiv in a shelling incident, one more Indian student suffered bullet injuries in Kyiv and he has been admitted to a local hospital there.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Union Minister of State for Ministry of Civil Aviation General (Rtd) VK Singh confirmed this incident at Poland’s Rzeszow Airport. He said a student from Kyiv was reported to have suffered bullet injuries and he was shifted to a hospital. He also said that the Indian Embassy has already asked everyone to leave the city. "During war, the bullets from the gun do not look at anyone’s nationality or religion," he said.
