The dramatic pictures showed blood-covered mothers cradling their terrified children as they tried to escape the hospital after the strike.
Horrifying pictures have captured the aftermath of a devastating Russian missile strike on a children's hospital in Kyiv that caused widespread damage and killed at least two people.
Vladimir Putin's army launched a massive assault on Ukraine, targeting five Ukrainian cities with more than 40 missiles - at least 33 people have been killed and more than 150 injured across the country.
The onslaught hit apartment buildings and public infrastructure, including the newly reconstructed ward at Kyiv's Okhmatdyt Hospital.
Windows and doors were blown out and walls blackened in the 10-storey building, with blood splattered on the floor in one room.
The intensive care unit, operating theatres and oncology departments all were damaged, officials said.
Shocking images of the aftermath of the bombing have now emerged, including one of an injured mother covered in dust and debris making her way through a corridor carrying her stunned toddler.
The tot, who appears to be wearing a cannula into his nose, is seen also covered in dust, his skin smeared with blood as his mother covers him with a striped sheet.
Another image shows a mother sitting outside the bombed hospital cradling her young daughter. The little girl is seen hiding her face in the woman's chest, her tiny hand seemingly trying to shield her eyes.
Young cancer patients evacuated from the destroyed ward were pictured lined up against an external wall of the building as they continued to receive treatment away from the strike area.
Doctors and members of the public joined in rescue operations, forming a chain to quickly remove debris in an attempt to free hospital staff and patients caught up in the missile strike.

Putin’s Russians started this by doing things like cluster bombing a Ukrainian train station and have been launching missiles at Ukrainian civilians and civilian targets ever since.
The Russians reveal their nature and themselves by their actions, the same as their supporters here do with their insults, arguments and a similar pathological lack of empathy.
These kinds of actions have long lasting consequences, as in “Good luck with eternity.”
It seems like the uptick started right after Biden’s disastrous debate performance. They get quite jittery and nasty when Zelensky & Co.’s gravy train is threatened.
These people have the blood of those innocent children on their hands. It is past time for a negotiated peace settlement, but the Biden crowd doesn’t want that.

You are simply ignorant of Ukraine. You should go and see for yourself. Ukraine is a great country.
Putin bombed those children because he’s a sore loser and he knows he won’t get away with it any more when President Trump is back in office.
No news reporting can be trusted regarding events occurring during an armed conflict, as long as the conflict is continuing. None of it.
The sun never sets on the British propaganda empire.
Their domestic Muslims and leftists are about to turn their country into one big dumpster fire—and they whine about Putin.
You are wrong. I have people on the ground there. It is not that difficult to discern the truth. It was said in the first Soviet era that there was no truth in PRAVDA but the Russians learned to see how the news was reported and even from that, knowing their perspective, could get some idea of the real news. Solzhenitsyn illustrates the concept in CANCER WARD when the expected anniversary of Stalin’s death was largely ignored.
Putin is afraid of President Trump.
It seems you agree with the KGB on everything.
Your Putin mind reading is impressive indeed.
:-)
Putin is afraid of Trump and trying to get his licks in while Dementia Joe is still in office
This is stunningly brilliant analysis—never thought of that before....
;-)
Go cry to MOMMY!
Your Putin lost the war. President Trump is going to shut him down.
Down to this crud, means you’re losing, good.
Hah! Hah! Hah!
Thanks for showing the effects of the UKE Patriot attack on that hospital. It’s on film and easily identified. We’ll be waiting for your apologies for stooging Western disinfo AGAIN.

Condolences for the collateral damages. War is hell. Until the war ends there will be countless more people killed living in close proximity to military targets. The pace of this war is increasing and there is nothing NATO or Ukraine can do to reverse Russia from winning.
350,000 newly minted Russian troops fully equipped are joining the active forces. In January 2025 another 300,000 will arrive.
Rumors of negotiations rampant with Russia. However, Ukraine and NATO still want to fight, hoping for a magic trick.
