War in Ukraine - Missile attack on Kiev: Dead child recovered from rubble
From the ruins of a damaged house in Kiev, a missing young boy was found dead in the night, the disaster response team of the Ukrainian capital reported after the devastating Russian air raid on Monday. Through the impacts of several rockets and missiles in the three-million city, at least 27 people were killed, including 4 children. 117 people were reportedly injured. There were also casualties in the Dnipropetrovsk region in the south. The Ukraine thus has at least 37 dead and 170 injured from the latest attacks.
In Kiev, a day of mourning has been set for today. Dramatic consequences resulted from a hit on one of the main children's hospitals in Ukraine's capital, Kiev. Hundreds of rescuers and volunteers continued to search through the rubble. Children with cancer being treated on intravenous infusions sat on their mothers' laps on the street. Two adults were killed in the hospital, including a doctor. The Ukraine assumes a targeted attack, as video footage shows the unobstructed flight of a missile to the building. The Russian military denies this without evidence, speaking instead of a mistaken Ukrainian air defense missile launch.
UN Security Council in session
In a large residential building near the hospital, seven people were killed, including three children. Two people died in an unspecified industrial plant. Unofficial reports speak of attacks on a weapons manufacturing company. In another partially destroyed hospital, nine people died, and in a business center, seven people were killed.
The Security Council of the United Nations is to discuss the devastating attack in the afternoon in New York. However, as a permanent member of the UN's highest body, Russia has a veto, so a condemnation of Moscow is not expected. Ukraine has been repelling a large-scale Russian invasion for over two years.
- Despite the mourning in Kiev, children with cancer continued to receive treatment on the streets, their mothers shielding them from the rubble, following the hit on a children's hospital.
- The devastating missile attack in Dnipropetrovsk, a region in southern Ukraine, claimed the lives of several children and civilians, adding to the growing toll of fatalities and injuries.
- Amidst the ongoing conflicts and Russian air raids, the international community has expressed concern, with the UN Security Council scheduled to discuss the latest attacks, including the deadly strike on a children's hospital in Kiev.
- As the Ukrainian capital and other regions endure the impacts of the continuous missile attacks from Russia, the country's children are left traumatized, with many losing their homes and loved ones in the midst of this deadly war.
- With the recent surge in missile attacks and casualties, including the tragic death of a young child in Kiev, calls for peace and an end to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia have grown louder, but the prospects for a resolution remain uncertain.
