Update:

In one of Russia's most shocking and heartless attacks yet, a maternity and children's hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine was hit by Russian airstrikes, during what was supposed to be a ceasefire, according to Interfax Ukraine.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on Western leaders to impose a no-fly zone as several people are trapped under the wreckage. According to officials in Mariupol, at least 17 people were injured, but no deaths have been reported yet and none of the reported injuries were children.
