Video confirmation that it was intentional

Kh-101 cruise missile debris

Video footage of the missile hitting "Okhmadit" clearly shows that it was the Kh-101 cruise missile.

The characteristic wings on the body and the rounded shape of the nose indicate that it was the Kh-101 strategic missile, which completely refutes the propagandists' versions of the alleged fall of an air defense missile fired from the Patriot air defense system on the hospital.

Also, the trajectory on which the Kh-101 flies clearly demonstrates that the missile is purposefully going to the target, which was a children's hospital.

Two people died in the "Okhmatdyt" hospital as a result of an attack by the Russian Federation.

According to the mayor of the city, both are adults. In particular, one doctor.

It was only a matter of time before Putin caused mass child casualties. I'm only surprised it's taken this long.

Unfortunately, I doubt it will make any of his current allies think twice about their support. Most of them wouldn't hesitate to do the same thing in his position.

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

Not like this is the first time. It's not even the second time.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Once again there was a sign out front saying “children”

[-] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

The Kremlin hit a theater packed with children in Mariupol, there was a massive sign outside that said children.

The Russian reliance on terror tactics makes me wonder what lessons they took away from WW2. This is clearly part of a pattern; a military doctrine, that had already been applied during the fighting in Syria, if not earlier.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

They? We

We learned nothing. All the "lessons" were just politics and leverage. Mankind is doomed.

The day that a nation (or organisation - ie. NATO) on equal footing with the Russian Federation stands up to them, and metaphorically punches them in the nose; is the day that Russia rethinks its military strategy. Until then, the cost to them are just some stern words.

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 31 points 4 months ago

Respect for making the claim, then immediately backing it up with evidence.

This is nothing short of terror bombing.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 31 points 4 months ago

How. The fuck. Does Russia. Keep getting away with this???? It's a fucking children's hospital, not a military base.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 9 points 4 months ago

You don't understand, HAMAS was in there!

...wait wrong one.

Fascists don't play by the rules. They just remind you if someone else doesn't follows it all the time, even if they broke it to a lesser degree. One of the main reason why I'm now extremely skeptical of callouts, and extensive research on both the target and the people doing the callout (sometimes they're just fascists doing some quite bad impression of the left, to incite infighting).

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

To me it seems like international law doesn't apply to some people for... whatever reason.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

It's hard to enforce. Best it could do is "we pinky-promise we won't genocide each other, and won't use terroristic methods".

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

What a depressing world we live in.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

Very sad to see here.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

How does this not earn a few atacm strikes on Russia bases? Make these fuckers pay.

[-] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 16 points 4 months ago

Jfc looks like child cancer patients in that one pic.

Good that there are reporters on the ground to show the world what Russia is doing.

[-] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 months ago

The missile hit the dialysis unit.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Perjury Traitor Greed supports this.

[-] sozesoze@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Absolute insanity. When I'm seeing these things around the world and now in Ukraine I'm always trying to see a logical explanation, some twisted cynical reasoning for why you bomb these vulnerable civilian targets, and I can't find anything. It's just cruelty. Ukrainians aren't going to surrender because of this, people and nations never have before. It just makes resistance to your war that much more defiant. If you bomb a childrens hospital, it's just because you want to punish people for not letting you win.

The second part that hurts is that this changes so little in the grand scheme. Maybe some guy who was living under a rock who was skeptical changes his mind about this invasion. But the vast majority of Russian internet propagandists, pro-Russia politicians in parliaments in the EU and around the world and people blinded by Putins lies will find some pathetic excuse to deny and deflect. And in a week the next atrocity occurs somewhere

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Ukrainians aren’t going to surrender because of this

Never in the history of modern warfare has bombing of civilian targets "broken the will" of the populace like it's intended to do. Every time it strengthens their resolve to fight. If you're trying to conquer somewhere by bombing civilians you'll have to kill all of them for it to be successful.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

Dresden would like a word...

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

And Hiroshima

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The firebombing of Dresden, while terrible, didn't do anything to convince the population to stop fighting.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

That's kind of what I meant, though.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki DID do the trick

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom!

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES.
