According to the Russian MoD, the Ukrainian armed forces deliberately attacked a hospital in Novoaidar on Saturday morning using rocket-propelled rounds from a US-made HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system.  24 people were injured following the attack in addition to 14 patients and medical staff also perished. The Russian Defense Ministry noted that the Novoaidar hospital has been providing medical care to local residents and service members for many months. This healthcare was being provided by both civilian and military health personnel.

It is also worth noting that Rheinmetall, the german arms manufacturer, is in talks with Lockheed Martin, the HIMARS-manufacturing company based in the US, to boost production to meet increasing demands for weapons by the West in face of what they see as a heightened threat from Moscow.
