2 Killed as Russian Missile Strikes Ukraine Clinic

A Russian missile hit a clinic in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Friday. Two persons died and 30 others were injured in this missile attack. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy termed it a crime against humanity.

Video footage showed a devastated building with smoke pouring out of it and rescue workers looking on. Much of the upper floor of a three-story building was completely damaged. A covered corpse lay in the road nearby.

“Another (Russian) missile attack, another crime against humanity,” Zelenskiy wrote on Twitter. He said a psychological clinic and a veterinary clinic had been hit, and added: “Only an evil state can fight against clinics. There can be no military purpose in this. It is pure Russian terror.”

Regional governor Serhiy Lysak said a 69-year-old man was killed as he passed the clinic and another man’s body had been recovered from the debris.

He said 30 people had been wounded, including two children, and contact had not yet been made with three people thought to have been in the building when it was hit.
