A Ukrainian children’s hospital was destroyed Wednesday in the latest devastating airstrike on Mariupol — where officials are already using mass graves to bury some of the thousands they say have been killed in “pure genocide.”
“The Russian occupying forces have dropped several bombs on the children’s hospital. The destruction is colossal,” the city’s official Telegram page wrote alongside video of the apparent bombing.
Other clips appeared to show a giant gaping mound of earth where part of the building had stood, with a car still in flames.
“People, children are under the wreckage. Atrocity!” President Volodymyr Zelensky also said while sharing a clip of the damage.
“Close the sky right now! Stop the killings! You have power but you seem to be losing humanity,” he wrote.

Sixteen children have died in Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion on Feb. 24, and 45 have been injured, according to official figures shared with TIME. Many of the wounded are being brought to Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in the capital Kyiv.
Ukraine’s largest pediatric facility has already evacuated patients with non-life-threatening conditions, but there are several children who cannot be removed from life support. Their numbers are growing as fighting around the Ukrainian capital intensifies.

CHILLING images show a smouldering Russian convoy of tanks blitzed to ashes by the heroic Ukrainian resistance on the outskirts of Kyiv.
The biggest war in Europe since World War 2 has now been raging for seven days – but Vladimir Putin’s advance towards the capital Kyiv appears to have stalled as brave Ukrainians fight back.
Across the war-torn country, defenders continue to mount a staunch resistance to the invader.
Eerie pictures from the town of Bucha – just 20 miles from the capital – revealed the mangled wreckage of Russian tanks and military equipment after one of the most brutal firefights of the war so far.
Footage showed the column of Russian tanks rolling into the town, near the Gostomel airbase, on Sunday afternoon before the convoy was shot down and destroyed.
Military experts said the Russians were likely wiped out by Ukrainian artillery and drone strikes.
Heroic locals also banded together to help fight the invaders – with some reportedly chucking Molotov cocktails at enemy vehicles.
The intense fighting left a trail of devastating destruction as chilling pictures showed a heap of smouldering military vehicles and scorched debris strewn across the streets.
