According to Ukrinform, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine reported this on Facebook.

"More than 40 injured and four killed, including children. These are the horrific consequences of another Russian attack on Ukraine. Terror continues -- shelling of residential buildings, civilian infrastructure, and even medical facilities," the ministry said in a statement.

It noted that among Russia's targets during the night was the M.D. Strazhesko Institute of Cardiology in Kyiv, where two people were killed.

"The building sustained damage between the 3rd and 5th floors, but despite the attack the institution continues its work. Emergency services are on site, while investigations and damage assessments are ongoing," the ministry said.
