Russia has strongly rejected claims of the country’s alleged attack on a children’s hospital in Kyiv, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
Mr Peskov said Russian strikes were carried out against critical infrastructure and military targets related to Ukraine’s military potential.
He denied any attacks on civilian targets and said a falling Ukrainian anti-missile struck the hospital.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that “many eyewitnesses and other sources ”have confirmed the hospital had been hit by a Western-made surface-to-air missile from the Ukrainian air defence system that went off course.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Telegram said the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv was hit by a Russian missile on Monday, adding that the strikes had killed 38 people and injured 190, according to preliminary information.
