A Russian airstrike hit Maternity Hospital No. 3, a complex serving as both a children's hospital and maternity ward, killing at least four people including a child, causing at least one stillbirth, and wounding at least 17 — among them women in labour. The OSCE Moscow Mechanism and Truth Hounds concluded the strike was a war crime; Russia falsely claimed the scene was 'staged'.
