The 10-story hospital, which is Ukraine’s largest medical facility for children, was caring for some 675 patients at the time of the attack. The missile hit a two-story wing of the hospital. Rescuers searched the rubble at the hospital for more dead and wounded, a day after Russian missiles slammed into the facility and cities across the country in a massive daytime barrage. The death toll from the strikes rose to 42, officials said.
