NEWSFLASH: Children's hospital hit by brazen Russian daylight attacks

Just a week ago we profiled the work of the Okhmatdyt Children's Clinic in Kyiv. Today, it was hit. We rushed to the scene to report.

Editor’s Note: Our work is dangerous, but it is necessary. Upgrade now if you agree.

In central Kyiv, you can often hear the difference between outgoing air defense missiles firing up over the city: a hollow, thumpy, ‘poof!’ sound; sometimes you can even see the smoke trail it makes as it rises into the sky.

And then there’s the kind of explosion you don’t want to hear:

…a low rumbling; a crunchier, sharper sound indicating something on the ground has been hit.

Today, the sites hit include a children’s hospital.
