Ukrainian authorities reported on March 9th that Russian forces had bombed the maternity wing of Hospital No. 3 in Mariupol. Kyiv stated that the attack killed 3 people, including a child, and injured 17 others
An anonymous Telegram channel claimed the next day the photos taken by Ukrainian photographer of the aftermath were staged. The claims also alleged the maternity ward was controlled by “nationalist” members of the Azov battalion.
Pro-Moscow media outlets republished these claims. Here is Ilya Ber, the publisher and editor-in-chief of Provereno Media, which specializes in debunking misinformation, on the hospital bombing and subsequent reaction.
