The baby was just two days old, according to the Ukrainian presidential administration.
The mother, her doctor, and the newborn were rescued from under the rubble after the Wednesday morning attack, but the baby later died, according to Reuters. The attack destroyed the two-story facility and also left two doctors injured, Ukrainian authorities said.
Ukraine’s prosecutor general’s office said the hospital was targeted with an S-300 missile. “A baby was killed, a new mother and a doctor were wounded,” the office posted on Telegram. The attack was reminiscent of a strike on a maternity ward in Mariupol at the start of the full-scale invasion, which became emblematic of Russia’s indiscriminate use of weapons and lack of conventional battlefield norms that exclude civilian targets like hospitals and schools as targets.
