For reference: Attacks on medical facilities are a violation of international law. The Geneva Conventions prohibit targeting them under any circumstances. Therefore, an attack on a medical facility or obstruction of medical care in any other criminal way is considered a war crime.
The fact that these hospitals treat wounded and sick members of the Armed Forces, or the presence of small arms and ammunition seized from such combatants but not yet handed over to the relevant services, are not considered actions harmful to the enemy.
Background:
- A household, two private enterprises and a gas station have been damaged; a transport company suffered serious damage; and a gas station employee was wounded as a result of the night attack on Dnipro.
- Air defence forces shot down five cruise missiles and six Shahed drones over Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
