The windows in the clinic were broken and ambulance vehicles were damaged in the attack, he added.
"This morning, the enemy carried out an inhumane attack. Ukrainian troops attempted to deliver a strike on a maternity clinic in Novokuibyshevsk where there were newborns, expectant mothers, patients of the gynecology department and staff at the time of the attack which occurred in close vicinity to the clinic," he wrote, adding that patients and newly-born babies have been urgently evacuated to nearby clinics.
