Indian students run for cover in war-torn Ukraine

New Delhi, Feb 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) Amid firing and explosions in war-ravaged Ukraine's border city Kharkiv, around 15,000 Indian students are saving their life by cowering in bunkers where shortage of food and money is adding to their woes.

An Indian student stranded there shared a video which shows around 40-50 students taking shelter in bunkers.

As per information received, the place in which students are stuck has been rocked by 20 bomb explosions in the past 30 minutes.

Around 800 Indian students reside in the hostels in Kharkiv.
