Massive Ukrainian shelling hits maternity hospital – DPR

Kiev forces have subjected civilian areas across Donetsk to heavy artillery shelling, the DPR says

A maternity hospital was damaged amid massive artillery shelling of the capital city of the Donetsk Peoples’ Republic (DPR) by Ukrainian troops on Monday. The hospital’s façade has been damaged by an artillery shell blast, with the buildings’ windows shattered, images from the scene show.

The hospital’s patients and staff had been evacuated and were therefore not injured in the shelling, the DPR’s Health Ministry said.

Ukrainian forces have subjected residential areas of Donetsk – as well as other locations across the DPR – to rocket and conventional artillery shelling over the past few days.

Ukrainian forces used assorted weaponry to target the city, including Uragan and Grad multiple rocket launchers, as well as NATO-caliber 155mm artillery pieces, recently supplied by the West to prop up Kiev in its fight against Russia.
