Russia has targeted a significant Ukrainian hospital in the city of Dnipro, resulting in the deaths of at least five individuals, including a child. The Mechnikov Hospital, described by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as one of the country's most crucial medical facilities, was hit in the south-central region of Dnipro. Prior to the conflict, the hospital provided care for up to 40,000 patients annually.
The strike occurred following calls from global leaders at the BRICs summit in Kazan, Russia, urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to cease hostilities in Ukraine. Zelensky condemned the attack, emphasizing that actions speak louder than words in halting aggression.
