Srinagar, Indian-administered Kashmir – Bhat, a young medical student from Indian-administered Kashmir studying in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, woke to the sound of deafening thuds on February 24.
By the time he could gather his thoughts, another loud explosion shook his building, sending Bhat, who requested to be identified by his second name, on a terrifying journey. He spent nights in underground bomb shelters, metro stations, and undertook a dangerous trip through parts of Ukraine under Russian attack.
