The UN called the shelling of a children's hospital in Kyiv "one of the most egregious attacks" of the entire full-scale invasion

"The analysis of the video footage and the assessment carried out at the scene of the incident indicate a high probability that the children's hospital suffered a direct hit and was not damaged by the air defense system," said Daniel Bell, head of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, at a press briefing in Geneva.

According to Bell, there were about 670 children and about 1,000 employees at the hospital at the time of the attack.

She also said it was "one of the most egregious attacks we've seen since the full-scale invasion began" in February 2022.

Today, the UN Security Council will hold a meeting to discuss the shelling of "Okhmatdyt". Russia is a permanent member, chairing the Security Council, and can veto the resolutions of this UN body.
