02:08 – World condemns attack on children’s hospital
An air strike destroyed a maternity and children’s hospital in the besieged city of Mariupol on Wednesday (09/03). The incident generated a wave of international condemnation, on the 14th day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the bombing, blamed on Russia, as a “war crime”. He shared footage of the destruction at the scene and claimed that what he called a “direct attack carried out by Russian soldiers” had left children trapped under the rubble.
Local officials said the attack on the hospital, which had recently been renovated and included a pediatric unit, left 17 injured, but there were no reports of deaths. The building’s facade was destroyed by a series of explosions that shattered windows, putting children and pregnant women at risk.
The Russian Defense Ministry did not deny that the attack was carried out by Russian planes, but claimed that “Ukrainian nationalist battalions” used the site to establish defense positions, after removing patients and staff. (DW)
