At least seventeen people were injured today during what's being reported as a Russian strike against a hospital complex in the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol. Part of the complex housed a children's clinic and maternity ward, which is now completely demolished.

In a report on the attack by The New York Times they point out that it's uncertain whether or not the hospital complex was fully operational during the time of the Russian strike, but several people were injured, and evacuation attempts were being made for those trapped inside the rubble.
