What is known about the Russian attack on the "Okhmatdyt" children's hospital?
On July 8, the Russian army attacked Kyiv with missiles. As a result of the shelling, there are dead and injured. July 9 was declared a day of mourning in the capital.
Russia struck a children's hospital with a Kh-101 strategic cruise missile.
It is noted that at the scene of the tragedy, fragments of the rear part of the missile with a serial number and part of its rudder were found.
As a result of the Russian Federation's strike, ten surgical departments, five oncology departments, two somatic departments, intensive care, two intensive care units, operating units, radiology and radiation therapy departments, and part of the haematology oncology laboratory were affected.
The building of the "Okhmatdyt" children's hospital in Kyiv, which was destroyed by the Russian army, cannot be restored. It was in this building that the department of toxicology was located.
The "Okhmatdyt" children's hospital's old surgical building will most likely be demolished. According to the Minister of Healthcare Viktor Lyashko, one new building will be built instead of the buildings destroyed by Russia.
