Mayor Klitschko accused Russia of attempting the "genocide of [the] population in Ukraine". "Right now the whole world can see how Russian missiles and Kamikaze drones killed Ukrainian citizens in our peaceful city." The mayor added that a separate maternity hospital in Kyiv's Dniprovsky district had also been partially destroyed by falling debris, killing seven people. Mr Zelensky wrote on social media that "more than 40 missiles of different types" had hit buildings and infrastructure in cities including Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. He called for a stronger Western response "to the blow that Russia has once again delivered on our population, on our land, on our children". Dnipro regional head Sergiy Lysak said one person was killed in Dnipro city and six more injured. He added that a high-rise building and a business had been hit. Three people were killed in Pokrovsk, in the eastern Donetsk region, where Russian forces have taken control of a number of villages in recent weeks.
