According to the sources, on July 8, one of the pilots of Russia's 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division (military unit 06987, Engels airfield), which is firing Kh-101 missiles at the territory of Ukraine, contacted Ukrainian intelligence.

The pilot expressed shock over the attack on the children's hospital, prompting him to hand over documents related to his air division's activities to Ukraine.

Additionally, he provided private photos of the command staff of the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division, along with their personal data and information about their families, as well as documents from the personal files of senior officers.

As of Tuesday, 9 July, emergency and rescue operations at the Okhmatdyt in Kyiv have been completed. Two people were killed and dozens were injured in the Russian attack.

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that UNICEF would provide financial assistance to families affected by the attack on Okhmatdyt. He also said that the government would fully rebuild the hospital.

On July 9, Health Minister Viktor Lyashko said that 627 children were in the hospital when the Russian missile hit the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv.
