GENEVA - Medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres said in a statement on Tuesday that its team witnessed Russian strikes during a hospital visit on April 4 in Mykolaiv, Ukraine and managed to take cover and escaped unharmed.

The facility, a cancer hospital also treating war-wounded, is located in a residential area in eastern Mykolaiv with many medical facilities, it said. "Bombing such a large area within a residential neighbourhood in the middle of the afternoon cannot but cause civilian casualties and hit public buildings," said Lacharite.
