Daryna Vertetska was sitting with her 8-year-old daughter in Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital on Monday morning when Russian missiles began to ring out in the sky. Her daughter, Kira, was receiving treatment for her cancer as the explosions boomed across the capital, Kyiv. “We decided not to interrupt it,” Ms. Vertetska said of the treatment. As Kira continued her treatment, a missile slammed directly into the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital, triggering an explosion so loud it defied description, she said. “She was very frightened,” said Ms. Vertetska, 33.

A Russian strike destroyed a crowded children’s hospital in the center of Kyiv on Monday, part of a large-scale aerial bombardment that killed at least 20 people in cities across Ukraine. At least 50 people were wounded in the barrage, according to Ihor Klymenko, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Officials cautioned that the toll would likely rise. In Kyiv, the local authorities said that at least nine people had been killed and another 23 wounded. It was not clear how many of the casualties were at the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital or at other locations in the city, where fires were reported after debris from missiles that had been shot out of the sky crashed into residential neighborhoods.

This story has been updated to reflect Elina Svitolina’s comments in her post-match press conference at Wimbledon. WIMBLEDON — Elina Svitolina wore a black ribbon during her Wimbledon last-16 match against Wang Xiyu, after Russian missile strikes killed and injured more than 100 Ukrainians across the country this morning. “It’s a very difficult day today for Ukrainian people,” she said, before beginning to cry. Her foundation, established in 2019, has brought over 1000 young Ukrainian players into tennis coaching. When asked whether she would shake her hand at this match, Svitolina said “she changed her nationality, so it means she doesn’t want to represent her original country, so it works.”(Andrej Isakovic/AFP via Getty Images)
