A two-day-old baby dies after a Russian missile bombardment hit a maternity unit at Vilnia Hospital in the Zaporizhzhia region of southern Ukraine, according to emergency services.
According to what was reported yesterday by the Ukrainian President, Volodimir Zelensky, in his Telegram account, “The terrorist State continues to fight against civilians and civilian objects. As a result of a missile attack on the maternity ward of the Vilnyansk hospital, a baby was killed and a woman was injured. It is likely that there are still people under the rubble.”
“The occupiers shelled a high-rise building and a polyclinic in Kupyansk. Two people died and one was hospitalized. All services work on the ground.”
The baby was born in said maternity unit two days ago. The baby’s mother and a doctor were also at the bombing site. The baby’s mother was injured, the Ukrainian president reported on his Telegram account.
Images and videos of the remains that were left at the site of the impact of the Russian missiles circulate on social networks where unfortunately the two-day-old baby lost his life.
