Description
Dennis Barten and co-authors document attacks on Ukrainian healthcare facilities during the first year of the full-scale Russian invasion in a 2023 study. War law protects hospitals, yet breaches are often reported.
A Ukrainian center verified attacks with open-source methods over the first year. Over three hundred attacks hit more than two hundred sixty facilities. Most facilities were damaged and dozens destroyed. General hospitals, clinics, emergency units, and children hospitals were hit most. Attacks clustered in the first three months and in eastern regions. Heavy weapons drove almost all cases. Casualties topped two hundred killed and injured among staff and civilians.
