Ukrainian newborn killed in rocket attack on maternity hospital
2022-11-24
[NYPOST] Another Ukrainian maternity hospital has been destroyed by Russian rockets, injuring doctors and killing a newborn baby, heartbroken officials said Wednesday.

The overnight strike in Vilniansk, close to the city of Zaporizhzhia, was part of a fresh bombardment across the war-torn country, including the capital, Kyiv, where three people were killed in a two-story building.

"At night, Russian monsters launched huge rockets at the small maternity ward of the hospital in Vilniansk," regional governor Oleksandr Starukh wrote on Telegram.

"Grief overwhelms our hearts — a baby was killed who had just seen the light of day," he said, sharing photos of thick smoke rising from the rubble of the hospital.

"A baby who was only two days old was killed, doctors were maimed, one of whom received severe burns," he added in a later post.

#1  It could be Ukrainian propaganda, or a Ukrainian air defense missile. Then again, it might be genocide.
