Six killed in Zaporizhzhia attack, children's hospital hit in Kyiv

Ukraine’s state emergency service reported that a children’s hospital in the capital was struck in the latest wave of attacks on Kyiv. The incident occurred amid a series of air‑strike alerts that have hit residential and public facilities across the city in recent weeks, raising concerns about the safety of civilian infrastructure.

Emergency crews arrived at the site promptly, securing the building and evacuating patients and staff while medical teams assessed any injuries. Authorities have not released detailed casualty figures, but the hospital’s operations were temporarily disrupted as officials began a damage assessment. The strike adds to the mounting pressure on Kyiv’s health and emergency services, which continue to respond to the ongoing hostilities in the region.
