Russia reportedly unleashed multiple ballistic and cruise rockets in the hideous ambush.

Heartbreaking pictures showed the site of Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital – with emergency responders working through the piles of rubble to rescue victims.

Putin’s ruthless army used Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, which fly at 10 times the speed of sound, Ukraine’s air force has said.

Officials in the besieged capital said a further nine people have been injured so far – but work at the scene continues.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed the children’s medical facility was hit in the devastating morning attack.

A further 20 people were killed across Ukraine this morning during attacks by Russia.

Other cities – including Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Slov’yansk and Krematorsk were hit.

Ukrainian president Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, accused Russia of “deliberately targeting” children.

Civilians across Kyiv have been urged by officials to take shelter.

Zelensky, who had been on a visit to Poland, said this morning: “More than 40 missiles of various types.

“Residential buildings, infrastructure, and a children’s hospital have been damaged.”
