Ukraine has accused Russian forces of the heavy bombing of an improvised hospital in Mariupol, which had been sheltering around 300 people. Civilians - including children - were among those receiving treatment there, Ukrainian authorities say.
A steel plant had been converted into a makeshift hospital to treat wounded troops, as well as ordinary citizens of the devastated port city. Ukraine's deputy commander of the Azov regiment, who was among the troops remaining in Mariupol, said the Russian military dropped heavy bombs, hitting the “improvised” hospital.
Serhiy Taruta, the former governor of the Donetsk region and a Mariupol native, also reported the bombing of the hospital. But the reports could not be independently confirmed.
