Russia Strikes Children’s Hospital in Deadly Barrage Across Ukraine

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Video of the attack taken by a Kyiv resident and verified by The New York Times showed a missile moving downward at high speed before striking the children’s hospital.
The Ukrainian prosecutor’s office said seven of the casualties on Monday were caused by missile debris that fell onto another medical facility, a women’s hospital, in Kyiv.
The Ukrainian Air Force said Monday’s attacks were carried out in part by bombers operating from deep within Russian territory, where Ukraine is restricted from using Western weapons to strike.
Mr. Zelensky, who was in Warsaw on Monday to sign a new security pact with Poland, said the document “includes a provision for shooting down Russian missiles and drones in Ukraine’s airspace that are fired in the direction of Poland.” He said both sides were “committed to implementing it,” but he did not say when it would go into effect.
While Kyiv has some of the most robust air defenses in the country — and thus has been largely protected from direct missile strikes — the city’s military administrator warned last month that Moscow has been testing new tactics to breach them.
Overall, the country’s air defenses are stretched thin, struggling to protect vital military assets, critical infrastructure and residential neighborhoods at the same time.
