On Saturday morning in the town of Novoaidar, "the Ukrainian armed forces deliberately attacked the building of a district hospital with rockets of a US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket system," the Ministry said in a statement.
The Ministry added that 14 were killed and 24 wounded among the "hospital patients and medical staff".
