A newborn baby boy was killed after a Russian missile attack hit a hospital maternity ward in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region this week, according to Ukrainian officials.
The country’s state emergency services said in a Wednesday statement that the baby’s mother and the attending doctor were rescued from the rubble left by the impact of two rockets on the hospital located in the southeast village of Vilnyansk.
Other than the baby, the child’s mother was the only patient at the facility, according to a Telegram post by the country’s emergency services. The baby was only two days old, Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska said on Twitter.
“Horrible pain,” she wrote.
