I don’t believe anything I hear from any source Russian, Ukraine or Western .

Everything is a media managed or staged lie.

[Phoenix8]

Oh..it’s reported as fake.

I'm a very experienced builder and have been CM and PM on buildings of this size in combat zones, and for years. From my experiences dealing with buildings that got slammed by rockets and bombs, the interior damage (where it can be clearly seen) looks like rocket/artillery damage. The outside, namely the condition of the cement/plaster facade away from the blast area, nope.

It looks like the building's exterior, aesthetic condition was poor before the strike. What is needed to tell whether or not this is or isn't another "Ghost Of Kiev" "Youcrayne's winning in Bakhmut" "Ruzzziiiaans eat babies" fantasy tale is a recent photo of the building, showing it as a very recently operational hospital, before the damage happened to it.

For now, I'll conclude from the pic that this is a derelict or empty building that got hit by a rocket or bomb through the roof.

BBC is always good for a laugh troll.....
yea they bombed it so they could eat the babies from the maternity ward....
Hey man - Bakhmut is still liberated!

Just because it is a derelict building doesn’t mean it wasn’t being used for an hospital. Dnipro is a war zone and in a war zone you use what you have.

Also, the images of a clinical hospital in Dnipro correspond with the design of the ruined building we see in the news. The “clinical hospital” description also explains the variations in the media calling it either a clinic or an hospital.

As an experienced builder I am sure you will see the similarities.

"As an experienced builder I am sure you will see the similarities."

You're joking, right? One's five floors. The other's three floors. The facades are completely different too. All of the window frames in the blown up building were removed prior to the blast. It is clearly a derelict or abandoned building that was hit.

Could there have been people inside who were medical patients? Or, could there have been Youcraynian soldiers/weapons/supplies? I don't know. But one thing's for sure, I believe nothing - absolutely nothing - from either Youcraynian or Ruzziiaaan propaganda mills.

As has been said many times, "The first casualty of war is Truth." In this conflict, each side seems to constantly try outdoing the other with corny jingoism and fantastical bullcrap.

“The burning building seen in the videos was verified as the Dnipropetrovsk City Hospital No. 14 by matching it and nearby buildings and road layout to file and satellite imagery of the area. Reuters was not able to independently verify the date the videos were filmed.”

Yeah, sounds like BS.

Most buildings that get hit by bombs look that way after the bomb hits. That’s the actual purpose of the bomb.

Have you ever seen a building shortly after it has been bombed?

That picture looks like something from a D-rate Hollywood movie set.

Russia is d-rate country so that fits.
