A Russian missile attack on Ukraine has caused widespread devastation, with a children's hospital in Kyiv being severely damaged. The attack, which killed at least 29 people and injured numerous others, has sparked international outrage.
The Ukrainian government has condemned the attack and called for Russia to be held accountable for its crimes against children and civilian infrastructure. President Zelenskyy has vowed retaliation and is seeking alternative options for the damaged hospital.
The United States has pledged support to Ukraine, providing additional ammunition and the Patriot air defense system. The NATO summit in Washington is discussing aid for Ukraine, while UN Security Council has called for an emergency meeting and an independent investigation into the incidents.
The attack on the hospital is seen as particularly insidious, with reports suggesting that the Russian forces used a new tactic of flying the missiles at extremely low altitudes, making it difficult for Ukrainian air defense systems to detect and intercept them.
The need for increased Western air defense systems in Ukraine has become evident in order to better defend against future attacks.
