A final-year medical graduate at the Kharkiv National Medical University, Nnani Adaobi Marian, has reportedly died after suffering injuries from a Russian airstrike in Kharkiv, a city in Ukraine.

This was disclosed by one Kateryna Bohuslavska, also known as “Kate from Kharkiv,” who has often shared updates on the ongoing war between her country and Russia since it began.
