The Ukrainian troops targeted a hospital in Novoaydar in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) using the US-made multiple rocket launcher system HIMARS. As a result, 14 people were killed and 24 others injured.
Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky has blamed the USA for the Ukrainian attack on a hospital in the Donbass, saying that the use of the HIMARS rocket launchers was green-lit by Washington, which made the US regime directly complicit.
The medical facility in the city, which is located dozens of kilometers away from the front lines in the central part of the Lugansk People’s Republic, treated both local residents and some soldiers. Both patients and medics were among the victims this time around.
A deliberate missile strike on a known civilian healthcare facility is an absolutely grave war crime of the Kiev regime, the MOD stated in a Telegram post, vowing to bring all those involved in planning and executing the attack to justice.
Earlier this week, Ukraine’s allies in the West announced their decision to supply Kiev with more weapons, including battle tanks, armored infantry vehicles and artillery systems.
Moscow blasted the move as the West’s direct involvement in the Ukraine conflict, and once again warned that the weapons would become a legitimate target for Russian forces.
Moscow has repeatedly accused Ukrainian forces of targeting civilian infrastructure, including with weapons supplied by the West. In early January, six people were killed and 37 injured in a strike on the city of Vasilyevka in Russia’s Zaporozhye Region.
Prior to that, a hospital was destroyed in the city of Tokmak in the same region. In both cases, US-made HIMARS systems were used, local authorities said at the time.

The USA is in charge of ALL of the targeting. Everyone in US White House, Senate, House of Representatives, and Supreme Court should be on trial for Crimes Against Humanity and facing the hangman.
