Newborn killed in shelling of Ukrainian hospital
A newborn baby has been killed in a Russian missile strike on a maternity unit in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region, emergency services say.
The baby's mother, who was the only woman in the facility at the time, and a doctor were rescued from the rubble.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of bringing "terror and murder" to his country.
The Zaporizhzhia region, where a key nuclear plant is located, has been the focus of repeated Russian attacks.
Ukraine's Deputy health minister is Oleksiy Yaremenko. He spoke with Newshour's Razia Iqbal on a poor line because of damage to communications.
