A Russian airstrike devastated a maternity hospital Wednesday in the besieged port city of Mariupol amid growing warnings from the West that Moscow’s invasion is about to take a more brutal and indiscriminate turn.
Ukrainian officials said the attack wounded at least 17 people.
Injured mothers were evacuated on makeshift stretchers, while soldiers cared for children, after Ukrainian officials say a Russian attack destroyed both a children’s hospital and maternity ward.
Police and soldiers rushed to the scene to evacuate victims, carrying out a heavily pregnant and bleeding woman on a stretcher as light snow fell on burning and mangled cars and trees shattered by the blast.
Another woman wailed as she clutched her child. In the courtyard, a blast crater extended at least two stories deep.
