"War against hospitals"
Killed by Russian attack on hospital in Sumy
According to official figures, at least eight people have been killed by a Russian air strike on a hospital in the Ukrainian city of Sumy. At least eleven people were also injured, the regional administration announced on Saturday. According to the report, the city in north-eastern Ukraine was attacked by Russian combat drones during the night.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko spoke on Telegram of a double strike: after the first hit, there was a second attack on rescue workers who were trying to bring patients to safety.
This account could not be independently verified, but the Russian tactic of double strikes on a target is well known. Such attacks by the Russian army on rescue workers have also been observed in Syria.
Patients evacuated from clinic
According to reports, 113 patients were evacuated from the clinic.
Whoever in the world speaks out about this war must pay attention to what Russia is aiming at, wrote Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi on Network X: "They are waging war against hospitals, civilian objects and human lives." Only strength can force Russia to make peace.
Night-time attack with drones and missiles
The Ukrainian air force announced that the Russian army had used 73 combat drones and four missiles against Ukraine on Saturday night. 69 drones and two missiles were intercepted.
Ukraine has been fending off a large-scale Russian invasion for more than two and a half years.
