AMMAN — Two Jordanian students who were injured in Ukraine arrived at the King Hussein Medical Centre on Sunday night after being airlifted from Kharkiv. 

Four Jordanian students were injured last Thursday when their housing complex was attacked. 

The families of the two other students did not agree to move them to Jordan, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. 

On Friday, Ukrainian news agency UNIAN reported that the Jordanian students were injured during “a mass brawl on a university campus area”, and that three of them underwent surgery.

One of the wounded Jordanians has an open head injury, while the others have stab wounds, according to UNIAN, and all four are in intensive care.

 

Citing the Ukrainian interior ministry, the agency said nine people were injured in the attack. Six people were hospitalised, including the Jordanians.
