Strike on Ukrainian maternity ward kills newborn baby - The Guardian

A newborn baby was killed after an overnight Russian rocket attack struck a hospital maternity ward in southern Ukraine, as Moscow unleashed another wave of missiles across the country.

Ukraine’s state emergency service said that a woman with her two-day-old baby and a doctor had been in the facility in the town of Vilniansk, close to the city of Zaporizhzhia when it was hit.

In one of the most notorious attacks, Russian bombs on 9 March completely destroyed a children’s and maternity hospital in Mariupol, injuring dozens of people and killing four, including a pregnant woman and her baby.
