Air strikes on Monday destroyed a hospital in northwestern Syria supported by Doctors Without Borders (MSF), killing at least seven people and leaving more missing, the group said.
The medical aid group Doctors Without Borders says at least eight hospital staff and patients in Idlib, Syria died and numerous others were still missing, after air strikes hit medical facilities. Mana Rabiee reports.
The Russian defence ministry said the main reason for the Ukraine attack was the prohibited use of mobile phones by the troops.
The Prosecutor General of Ukraine said a rocket hit the hospital in Vilniansk around 2:00 on Wednesday morning.

Russia, which did not comment immediately on the raid, is a main backer of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. With Russian and Iranian support, Damascus clawed back much of the ground lost in the early stages of Syria's conflict, which erupted in 2011 when the government brutally repressed pro-democracy protests. The last pocket of armed opposition to the regime includes large swathes of Idlib province and parts of the neighbouring Aleppo, Hama and Latakia provinces. IMAGES
