At least 24 people were killed on Monday after Russia launched a massive missile attack against cities across Ukraine, including on a children’s hospital.
In the capital, Kyiv, at least ten people were killed in a rare daytime attack.
The Okhmatdyt children’s hospital, Ukraine’s biggest children’s medical facility, was hit in the attack, according to reports. There was no immediate word on casualties there.
At least 10 people were killed in the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, with three killed in the eastern town of Pokrovsk and one in Dnipro.
The attacks included Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, one of the most advanced Russian weapons, the Ukrainian air force said.
The Kinzhal flies at 10 times the speed of sound, making it hard to intercept. City buildings shook from the blasts.
At the children's hospital, a two-story building was partly destroyed. On the hospital's main 10-story building, windows and doors were blown out and walls were blackened. Blood spattered the floor in one room.
Medical personnel and local people helped shift the rubble as they searched for children and medical workers who could be trapped underneath. Volunteers formed a line, passing stones and debris to each other. Smoke still rose from the building, and volunteers and emergency crews worked in protective masks.
The attack forced the hospital to shut down and evacuate. Some mothers carried their children away on their backs. Others waited in the courtyard with their children as calls to doctors' phones rang unanswered.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had targeted five cities with more than 40 missiles of different types.

You know nothing about this incident, but you assume it was a SAM.
Putin’s summer offensive is a failure so he’s lashing out at Ukrainian civilians as always.
And here comes Low IQ donnelly chirping up with more Biden war propaganda. Didn’t you once say that Ruzzia blew up it’s own pipelene? How exactly did you arrive at that conclusion?
There is a video out there, it was AIM-120.
What is the point of mirroring Ukrainian situation?
Just this morning, one of the Russian cheerleaders was hoping that Kiev would soon look like Gaza.
Maybe I am missing the swastikas on the front the the kids cancer ward.
Russians love destroying and killing. It does t much matter what they destroy or who they kill. But if they get slapped back, they whine like little children. You know, little children with cancer who get missiles shot at them.
Good job Putin. It’s almost Tuesday—time to threaten nuclear war again.
Get back to us, you hypocritical dim wit, when you're willing to admit Ukraine targeted civilians on a beach in Crimea, have been targeting civilians in Donetsk for 10 years, have executed Russian POWs and used civilians as human shields during this war.
The hypocrisy is every bit as sickening as the constant hypocrisy on the left and by Democrats.
There is 99.9% chance this is propaganda, likely a result of Ukraine shooting down a missile.
A false flag is also a strong possibility as Ukraine's only option is going the Palestinian route as a means of propaganda with our willing help.
It was a KH/X-101 cruise missile.
Your Putin is terrified of President Trump’s return.
What’s a “Palestine”? Never heard of it.
Oh really, doesn't match the photos taken.
Your Zelensky is terrified of Trump’s return.
You’ve never heard of Palestine?
I’ve heard of Israel but not your so-called “Palestine”.
Summer just started 2 and a half weeks ago, stupidusmaximus.
Tell your girlfriend Kazan there’s no such thing as a “Palestine”.
Tell your Biden to tell President Jill to tell Jimmy Clyburn to make sure your Biden's diaper gets changed before the NATO summit opens.
Tell your Biden to tell your Elensky to withdraw what's left of the Ucrazian army from the future Russian Federation oblasts of Kharkov, Nikolaev and Odessa.
