Quote: "Currently, 33 injured adults are being treated in hospitals throughout the capital. Four of them are in a serious condition. Six children from the Okhmatdyt hospital have also been hospitalised."

Background: 

• The Russians launched a strike on the Okhmatdyt National Children's Specialised Hospital in Kyiv on 8 July. One of the buildings was destroyed. The Kyiv authorities reported that two adults had been killed and 32 injured.
• The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has defined Russia's attack on the Okhmatdyt National Children's Specialised Hospital in Kyiv as a war crime and initiated criminal proceedings into the matter. Early reports from SSU investigators indicate the Russians used a Kh-101 air-launched cruise missile to attack the medical facility.
• The Ukrainian Air Force has also clearly refuted the possibility that a Ukrainian air defence missile could have hit the Okhmatdyt hospital. The evidence is a screenshot of a video and a photo of a Kh-101 missile, as well as a photo of an AIM-120 missile, the kind of projectile that NASAMS surface-to-air missile systems use.
• Bellingcat analysts, as well as a number of independent nuclear weapons and missile technology experts, have concluded that the attack on Kyiv's Okhmatdyt hospital involved the use of a Russian Kh-101 missile.
• On 10 July, it was reported that a boy who suffered from the Russian attack on the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital had died in hospital.
