The World Health Organization says it has verified at least six attacks on healthcare facilities in Ukraine amid Russian’s invasion of the country, resulting in six deaths and 11 injuries.

The UN health agency says it is looking into additional reports of health facilities being struck.

“Attacks on healthcare facilities or workers breach medical neutrality and are violations of international humanitarian law,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus writes on Twitter.
