Nov 22 (Reuters) – The death toll in a Russian strike on a hospital in Ukraine’s southern town of Selydove has risen to three as rescuers finished clearing rubble a day after the attack, emergency services reported on Wednesday.
Tuesday’s strike damaged two buildings of the hospital, injuring at least eight people, and a coal mine, authorities said. The attack came a week after a missile hit an apartment block in the town.
« Another body was recovered from the rubble of the hospital building…In total, three people were killed in the missile strike, » the State Emergency Service said on Telegram.
Rescuers had been working night and day, clearing rubble as a whole section of the building had totally collapsed.
Russia has denied deliberately targeting civilians although many have been killed in its frequent air strikes.
