At the time of the air raid, the students were in the dormitory, but they went down to the shelter in time. There were no injuries or deaths among the staff and students.

«Fortunately, because the students went down to the equipped shelter in the dormitory, there were no casualties among the staff. At the same time, it is extremely unfortunate that a powerful educational complex created to educate the younger generation and rebuild our country could be destroyed by the enemy in a matter of minutes, the statement said.

The academy's management assures that all damaged premises will be restored by the start of the new academic year.
