Hospitals targeted in Ukraine
I was listening to Nicolle Wallace and one of the guests said there had been hundreds of attacks on hospitals and I think he said 17 were completely destroyed.
Between attacking people in bread lines and holding medical people hostages while shooting from the hospitals, using them as shields it is par for the course.

Serhii Chernyshuk, medical director of the Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv, said he’s worried about a Russian airstrike hitting the hospital. Based on the events of the past three weeks, hospitals, schools and other civilian locations are maybe more dangerous than military locations, he said in an interview with The Washington Post on Thursday.
“As we see in Mariupol, Kharkiv, many hospitals are destroyed … by [the] Russian army. And our hospital also can be a goal for them,” he said.
Chernyshuk has been living in the hospital for the last three weeks, because he believes it’s safer to stay there the whole time. In the past three days, two rockets came down very close to the children’s hospital. One of the rockets landed less than one kilometer (a little over a half-mile) from it Wednesday morning, shattering a few windows. He thinks it is “very possible” that “one day, our hospital will be hit by a rocket or other weapons.”

He is getting desperate. I don’t want to think about what Putin is willing to do but I know it will get worse. If there is a hell I hope Putin and TFG are neighbors.

Or nearly so.
Might explain why a Tochka landed in Donest'k a few days ago, as they dig into obsolete stock.
Either way, it means more air strikes (in the conventional meaning of "bombs dropped from planes"
and long-range artillery. Reports are that they're bringing in long-range artillery from behind the lines.
It also implies fewer long-range strikes against targets in Ukr's west and south west.
