Hospital Strike

There is no question that Russia has stepped up attacks all around Ukraine on airfields and weapons depots.  It is responding to new incoming weapons and promises for more.  It has begun doing these attacks in broad daylight, which it did not do before.

The alleged hospital attack doesn't fit this pattern.  Of course, western partisans generally assume that their enemies are pure evil.  "Russia always hits hospitals after all they are monsters."  Actually, it is the US and Israel which operate through endless war crimes with impunity.  Russia does not have that kind of impunity, and generally follows the rules, because it knows all hell would break out when it doesn't, as the hell even starts breaking out otherwise.

But other than this kind of general knowledge, nothing released in the public domain about the missile strike is fully convincing to me.  The grainy (and possibly altered) videos I've seen are ambiguous.  It would seem to me, that if Ukraine had any missile fragments to prove it was a Russian cruise missile, they would produced them by now, and they haven't.
