"The main thing is that there are no casualties. We will restore the concrete and equipment.

Reconstruction is only a matter of time, and incomparably less than the time it will take generations of non-humans to wash off this shame," the Ministry of Health said.

 
Fortunately, the attack resulted in no casualties

Earlier, the Russian occupiers fired at a maternity hospital in Vilniansk, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, killing a two-day-old baby.

Two doctors were pulled out from under the rubble, Viktor Liashko said. After the tragedy, he emotionally addressed the World Health Organisation and the Russian Minister of Health.
