A Russian attack on a maternity clinic in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia has reportedly injured at least six people. “Another proof that a war is being waged against life itself,” the region’s governor wrote on Telegram. Earlier, at least four people were reported dead and around twenty injured in other Russian attacks.

Zaporizhzhia region governor Ivan Fedorov posted a photo on Telegram of a building he says is a maternity hospital. It is partially destroyed, has blown-out windows, and is partially surrounded by smoke. Fedorov wrote, according to The Kyiv Independent, that two of the wounded women were being examined when the clinic was attacked.

Earlier in the day, a man and a woman were killed in a “hostile” drone strike in the industrial city of Dnipro, the head of the regional military administration there wrote on Telegram. The drone reportedly caused a fire that destroyed the house where the man and woman were and injured two others.

In Donetsk, in eastern Ukraine, two people were killed and at least five injured, The Kyiv Independent reports, citing the region's governor.

Russian drone attacks have also injured people and caused devastation in Sumy, Kherson, and Kharkiv, among others, according to the newspaper.
