From Basement, Indian Student In Ukraine Tells NDTV "Can Hear Bombings"

Nearly 16,000 Indians are stranded in Ukraine as Russian forces carry out an attack by land, air, and sea on the former Soviet republic.

As Russian forces pressed ahead in Ukraine, thousands of Indian students waited to be moved to safety and posted SOS videos.

One of the videos emerged from the basement of a medical college in Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine.

The video was posted by Suminder, a student of the Kharkiv National Medical University.

"We are in the basement of hostel No 5 in Kharkiv. There are lots of students here. We are calling for urgent help," Suminder says, her phone camera capturing a room packed with students huddled together.
