A Ukrainian nurse who tragically lost both legs in a landmine bombing has been filmed having an emotional first dance with her new husband.

Oksana was dancing with her groom Victor as they got married in a small hospital ward alongside cheering guests.

The inspiring clip can be seen below:

The 23-year-old sadly lost both her legs along with four fingers after a mine exploded from underneath her, reports The Mirror.

The tragic incident happened in the eastern city of Lysychansk, on 27 March.

Oksana and Victor were heading home 'on a familiar path', according to The Lviv Medical Association.

However, as Oksana turned to warn her future husband, the mine reportedly went off and she was left badly injured.

Oksana then needed four operations before she was taken to Dnipro to recover.

Victor was left unscathed.
