"Dozens of Russian missiles blasted cities across Ukraine on Monday, striking apartment buildings and a large children’s hospital in the capital, where local residents joined emergency crews to search through piles of rubble. At least 31 people were killed, officials said...
At the time of the strike, three heart operations were being performed, and debris from the explosion contaminated the patients’ open chests, Health Minister Viktor Liashko said...
“Among the victims were Ukraine’s sickest children,” Volker Türk, the U.N. human rights commissioner, said adding that a U.N. team visited the hospital shortly after it was hit and saw children receiving treatment for cancer in hospital beds set up in parks and on streets.
“This is abominable, and I implore those with influence to do everything in their power to ensure these attacks stop immediately,” Türk said..."
