Russian Missile Barrage Kills Dozens in Ukraine, Including 31 in Kyiv Children's Hospital
ai generated text
A children's hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine was hit by Russian missiles during a daytime attack, resulting in significant damage and casualties. According to various reports, at least 28-31 people have been killed and over 60-125 others injured. The exact number of casualties is still unknown as some people are trapped under the rubble.
No child should grow up under the threat of missile strikes. No child should risk dying amid the rubble of hospitals meant to be safe havens for healing and recovery.
This is abominable, and I implore those with influence to do everything in their power to ensure these attacks stop immediately.
China will continue to actively promote peace talks.
France condemns these flagrant violations of international law, which are yet another entry and note list of war crimes for which Russia will be held accountable.
Russia has deliberately targeted residential neighborhoods and healthcare infrastructure.
The statements by the regime in Kyiv about Russia's allegedly deliberate missile strike on civilian sites are absolutely unreal.
Multiple photos and video footage from Kyiv undoubtedly confirm the fact of destruction due to the fall of a Ukrainian air defence missile launched within the city limits.
We continue to insist that we do not attack civilian targets. Strikes are carried out against critical infrastructure facilities, against military targets that are in one way or another related to the military potential of the regime.
Mr President, we are appalled by the strikes on Ukraine by the country that you are representing.
Intentionally directing attacks against a protected hospital is a war crime and perpetrators must be held to account.
These incidents are part of a deeply concerning pattern of systemic attacks harming healthcare and other civilian infrastructure across Ukraine.
First Responders attending the scene immediately after the attack found children receiving treatment for cancer in hospital beds, set up in parks and on the street, where medical workers had quickly established triage areas.
In Dnipro, a high-rise building and a business were damaged. A service station was also damaged. There are wounded.
