Ten dead in double Russian attack on hospital

The hospital was attacked twice at short intervals with Iranian-made Shahed drones, said Ukrainian President Zelensky. Russia is waging a “war on hospitals.” Interior Minister Klymenko reported that the first attack resulted in one fatality and that several floors of the hospital were damaged. When the building was evacuated and patients and staff as well as rescue workers and police were on site, the second rocket hit.

According to human rights organization Human Rights Watch, Russia has attacked at least 1,736 health facilities in Ukraine since its war of aggression began.
