Attack on a maternity hospital in Ukraine leaves pregnant women and children trapped

There have been further airstrikes in Ukraine overnight, with local officials saying two hospitals were hit in a town 90 miles west of Kyiv.

It follows the attack on a maternity hospital in Mariupol, in the south east of the country, leaving pregnant women and children trapped.

Moscow insists the site was cleared by Ukrainian troops who were using it.
