Ukraine: Ghanaian student takes shelter in the subway

On Wednesday, first-year medical student, Hortor Joseph Kwabla, who is from Ghana and lives in Ukraine's second city Kharkiv, described how he saw direct attacks on buildings near to his dormitory.

After seeing the explosions in the city, he and scores of other residents fled their homes and took shelter in the underground train station. In an update to Focus on Africa's Audrey Brown, Hortor Joseph Kwabla says everyone slept on the bare floors.
