Sentsov’s airborne unit came under enemy artillery fire resulting in three soldiers receiving shrapnel wounds.
Sentsov himself had fragments removed from his face, while smaller pieces in his arm and leg will remain there “forever,” he said in a post.
The filmmaker also posted a photo from an ambulance. During the artillery shelling, the soldiers were in a Bradley fighting vehicle which saved their lives, he added.
“The week didn’t go well,” Sentsov wrote.
“We came under artillery fire on the very first combat sortie after returning, during the landing. Our Bradley saved our lives again. Three were wounded, mostly by fragments, which have already been removed from my face, while small ones in my arm and leg will remain with me forever. The other guys are also doing well – Zaporizhzhya doctors know their business, thank you!”
Last week, Sentsov received a mild concussion. He turned 47 on July 13.
On July 14, he and Ukrainian female writer Oksana Zabuzhko were awarded France’s highest honor – the Legion of Honor.
