Wounded children, frightened adults, white medical robes covered in blood — these are the consequences of another Russian combined attack against Ukrainians. In the morning of July 8, Russian troops launched a rocket attack on Kiev, the largest children's hospital in Ukraine “Okhmatdyt” came under enemy attack.
Damaged hospital buildings, destroyed operating and wards, knocked out windows and doors. In the first minutes after the attack, children's crying and the screams of hundreds of children were heard in the hospital.
Rescuers and medics are working at the scene. Simple Kiev residents help to clear the rubble.
There is no official information on the number of dead and injured in the children's hospital yet.
Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak wrote that “the Russians deliberately beat children today.”
