More than two dozen victims have been reported at a Ukrainian medical clinic hit by Russian missiles.
The hospital was located in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro and was reduced to rubble after the bombing.
“Russian terrorists once again confirm their status as fighters against everything humane and honest,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Two people involved in the rocket attack were killed. At least 23 are reported injured.

“It was a very difficult night. It was loud,” Zelensky said. “Dnipro has suffered”.
The Russo-Ukrainian conflict saw many variations in airborne weapons and fired artillery.

Ukrainian investigators have increasingly found instances of Russia dropping older bombs – some weighing around 1,100 pounds – because of their tactical advantage.
Low-tech explosives easily bypass modern air defenses such as US-made Patriot missile systems designed for counter long-range missiles and drones.
Russian bombs, resurrected from Cold War-era ordnance stockpiles, have two main advantages over missiles in that they don’t have a propulsion system for air defenses to track, and they stay airborne for as little as a minute.

President Biden’s administration unveiled a plan to train Ukrainian pilots on the F-16, a fourth-generation fighter aircraft, in the near future.
The program is part of a larger international effort to supply Ukraine with the required F-16s.
Biden had long resisted supplying the high-tech aircraft, fearing it could prompt Russia to escalate the conflict.

Some have also argued that the aircraft could be used for offensive operations, when the United States has been trying to provide Ukraine with only defensive capabilities.
