Last night, Russia once again launched strikes against Ukraine—the grounds of a children's hospital in Kyiv were hit, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Health.

One of the strikes last night was recorded on the grounds of a children's hospital in Kyiv. The rocket created a crater and damaged a dormitory building, storage facilities, and a gas pipeline.

Despite the destruction, there were no casualties. The children and medical staff were in shelters at the time of the Russian attack and were therefore unharmed.

Rescue workers from the State Emergency Service revealed photos from the site of the Russian missile strike near the children's hospital in Kyiv—the images show craters and damaged windows on the building.

Rescuers also extinguished a fire at a nearby warehouse; the area affected by the blaze exceeded 1,000 square meters.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Air Force reported on the scale of the nighttime attack—Russia used Zircon anti-ship missiles, Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles, and over a hundred drones.

The main targets of the strike were the Kyiv region and Zaporizhzhia, and Ukrainian air defense forces shot down 98 Russian drones.
