The Russian foreign minister has dismissed outcry over the deadly bombing of a maternity and children’s hospital in Mariupol as “pathetic”.

 

At least three people, including a six-year-old - are reported to have been killed and 17 others injured in the attack on Wednesday March 9, which has been widely condemned as a war crime.

Images showed a pregnant woman being carried through rubble after the site was destroyed in the airstrikes. Ukrainian authorities said one of the injured was a woman in labour.

 

Outcry over Ukraine

 

On Thursday, Sergei Lavrov was asked in a press conference how Russia could justify the bombing.

 

“With regards to the maternity hospital, it is not the first time we have seen pathetic outcries concerning the so-called atrocities perpetrated by the Russian military,” the foreign minister replied, according to a BBC translator.

He also claimed Ukrainian forces had taken over the maternity and children’s hospital in Mariupol, an industrial port city that has been under attack for days, and there were no patients there at the time of the airstrikes.

Ukraine said Russia committed “genocide” by bombing the maternity hospital.

 

“What kind of country is this, the Russian Federation, which is afraid of hospitals, is afraid of maternity hospitals, and destroys them?” Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, said in a televised address on the day of the strike.

 

The World Health Organisation said 18 attacks have been carried on on medical facilities in Ukraine since Russia launched its all-out invasion two weeks ago.

 

The Mariupol hospital bombing - which Ukrainian authorities said injured pregnant women and buried patients under rubble - was condemned by the international community.

U.S. Deports Migrants To South Sudan Despite Fears Of Torture And Violence

  The Trump administration deported eight migrants from Djibouti to South Sudan on Friday, following a series of fast-moving legal battles and despite warnings from their attorneys that they face the risk of torture, imprisonment, or even death. The deportation went ahead after a federal judge in Massachusetts denied an emergency request by the migrants' lawyers to block their removal. U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy wrote that a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the deportations to proceed was “binding” and that the legal arguments before him were “substantially similar” to those already decided. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security praised the decision, stating on social media, “Law and order prevails,” and described the migrants as “barbaric criminals.” The administration had previously blamed “activist judges” for delays in carrying out the deportations. Legal Challenges and Human Rights Concerns The eight migrants, detained in Djibouti for weeks, i...
