New York (National Times) The United Nations Security Council will meet on Tuesday over a Russian attack on Ukraine that struck Kyiv’s main children’s hospital, said diplomats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russia blasted the hospital with a missile in broad daylight on Monday and rained missiles down on other cities across Ukraine, killing at least 36 civilians in the deadliest wave of air strikes for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned the Russian strikes, his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guterres found the attack on the children’s hospital and another medical facility “particularly shocking,” Dujarric said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects is prohibited by international humanitarian law, and any such attacks are unacceptable and must end immediately,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Security Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday morning was requested by Britain, France, Ecuador, Slovenia and the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
