Drama around hospital
Kiev: Dozens of parts of Russian missile found
Following the devastating missile strike on a children's hospital building in the capital Kiev, the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice has published evidence of a Russian missile. More than 30 fragments of a Kh-101 were found.
"Specific design features of the debris found and corresponding typical markings testify to the use of a strategic cruise missile of the Kh-101 type," said Deputy Minister of Justice Andriy Haychenko according to a statement.
Such missiles have a warhead weighing around 400 kilograms and a range of up to 5,000 kilometers. More than 30 fragments of the missile were found, including parts of the engine and wings.
Kremlin rejects blame
The Ukrainian secret service SBU had previously presented photos of debris from a Kh-101 missile. The Kremlin claims that the clinic building was hit by a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile.
On Monday, a missile hit a two-storey building on the grounds of the "Okhmatdyt" children's hospital in Kiev. Two adults, including a doctor, were killed. Over 30 people, including at least 8 children, were injured. More than 30 civilians were killed in the three-million-strong city in the heaviest rocket attack on targets in the capital since the beginning of the year.
Ukraine has been fending off a Russian invasion for over two years. Russian missile and drone attacks regularly hit civilian objects. Kiev repeatedly urges its Western allies to supply more powerful air defense systems.
