A World Health Organization (WHO) warehouse in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro was destroyed during a recent Russian attack, sending emergency health supplies up in smoke, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confirmed on Aug. 9.
Russia struck the facility during an attack in Dnipro, Ukraine's fourth-largest city, on Aug. 7.
The warehouse contained humanitarian medical supplies bound for the front line, Ghebreyesus wrote on X.
Ukraine's Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets condemned the strike, which he described as a "cynical" Russian attack on the most vulnerable people.
