Hospital was directly hit, Zelenskiy says, as he vows retaliation after one of heaviest attacks on capital since war began
An unknown number of people are trapped under rubble after Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital was hit in a daylight Russian missile barrage that the authorities said has killed at least 29 people across the country.
The Ukrainian president, Volodomyr Zelenskiy, vowed retaliation as he said the capital’s Okhmatdyt hospital, the main treatment centre in the country for children with cancer, had suffered a direct missile hit. It was one of the heaviest attacks on Kyiv since Russia’s February 2022 invasion.
