A devastating Russian missile attack on Ukraine led to a tragic toll, with 31 people confirmed dead and more than 150 injured, according to officials. The assault included one missile hitting a children's hospital in Kyiv, causing significant destruction and casualties.

President Zelenskyy condemned the attack as an act of terror by Russia and emphasized the urgent need for global solidarity in seeking peace. Describing the severe damage and chaos caused by more than 40 different types of missiles in various Ukrainian cities, Zelenskyy stressed the importance of international support for holding Russia accountable and ending the cycle of violence.

The targeted children's hospital, Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv, was described as a crucial healthcare facility catering to the needs of many children. The heartbreaking scenes of bloodied floors, damaged departments including intensive care and oncology, and the harrowing evacuation of patients and staff brought forth the harsh realities of conflict impacting innocent civilians. The Ukrainian authorities reported findings of a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile at the hospital site, fueling accusations of war crimes. Ukraine claimed to have intercepted and shot down the majority of these missiles during the attack.
