8 July 2024 Ukraine missile strikes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A massive missile attack on Ukraine occurred on 8 July 2024 during the Russo-Ukrainian War. Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Kropyvnytskyi, and Pokrovsk came under fire from more than forty missiles of the Russian military.[8] In total, at least 47 people were killed and about 170 were injured.[9][10] In Kyiv, strikes damaged residential buildings and infrastructure, notably including the Okhmatdyt children's hospital, the country's largest.[11] The city's Artem military plant [uk] was also hit.[12] The international community condemned the attacks. The Security Service of Ukraine defined Russia's attack on the Okhmatdyt children's hospital as a war crime and initiated criminal proceedings into the matter.[13][8] Human Rights Watch also wrote that the strike against the children’s hospital should be investigated as a war crime.[14]
