The fire covered 1,000 square meters of the medical facility, where a three-story building was partially destroyed, Lysak added.
He added that rescue teams are searching for people under the rubble.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the attack as a crime against humanity. In his post on twitter he says:
“Another one [ρωσική] missile attack, another crime against humanity itself. The buildings of a psychological clinic and a veterinary clinic in the city of Dnipro were destroyed. Only an evil state can fight the clinics. There can be no military purpose in it. He is clean [ρωσικός] trembling”.
