A Russian airstrike using a guided bomb has hit Feldman Ecopark near the city of Kharkiv, injuring a volunteer and several lions. Many birds have been killed, including parrots and pheasants.

Details: Feldman said that the volunteer suffered a head wound and got into an ambulance herself, which took her to hospital.

The strike destroyed the winter enclosure for predators and winter premises for birds and small animals. The lions were injured and many birds were killed.

Quote: "We don't know what to do with the tigers. One ran into a three-storey building, the other is sitting in a half-open enclosure. It hid in a little hut. All tranquillisers were in the building that was hit by the guided bomb. We are waiting for a [tranquilliser] gun to move the tiger to another enclosure.

And the birds, if not all, then most of them were killed. The munition hit the bird house. All the parrots, pheasants, all the elite birds that need warm conditions, were in that building."

Background: Goats rescued from other frontline areas were killed in Feldman Eco-park during a Russian attack in March 2025.
