Russian missiles hit children's hospital in Kyiv as Ukrainian President Zelenskyy vows retaliation

A massive Russian missile attack across Ukraine on Monday has left at least 31 dead and more than 150 injured, officials say, with one projectile slamming into a children’s hospital in Kyiv. 

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now vowing to "hold Russia accountable for its acts of terror and Putin for ordering the strikes." 

In a series of messages posted on X, Zelenskyy said more than 40 types of missiles struck the cities of Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Slovyansk, and Kramatorsk, damaging apartment buildings and infrastructure as well. 

"Now that the hospital has been damaged by a Russian strike, there are people under the rubble, and the exact number of casualties is still unknown," Zelenskyy said while describing the current situation at the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv. "Right now, everyone is helping to clear the rubble – doctors and ordinary people."
