'Shelling targeted civilians': Outrage at Russian attack on Ukraine children's hospital, 37 dead
Emergency and rescue personnel operate and clear the rubble of the destroyed building of Ohmatdyt Children's Hospital following a missile strike in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. At least 37 people were killed and 170 wounded. Russia attacked cities across Ukraine on Monday with a missile barrage that killed more than three dozen people and ripped open a children's hospital in Kyiv, an assault condemned as a ruthless attack on civilians.
Zelensky called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council over the barrage and urged Ukraine's allies to deliver"a stronger response" to Russia's attack. The US denounced"another savage missile attack on civilians", while the EU slammed Moscow for its"ruthless" actions. Moscow said its forces had struck their"intended targets", which it added were only defence industry and military installations.
DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, said three of its electrical substations had been destroyed or damaged in Kyiv. Rescuers clear the rubble of the destroyed Ohmatdyt Children's Hospital following a missile attack in Kyiv on 8 July 2024. In Zelensky's hometown of Kryvyi Rig, which has been repeatedly targeted by Russian bombardment, the strikes killed at least 10 and wounded more than 41, officials there said.
