The aftermath of the attack on a maternity hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine, was captured on video and in photos showing that it was an actual attack.
A Pentagon spokesperson called OAN host Pearson Sharp’s claims “ridiculous.” Several independent experts who spoke to PolitiFact agreed that it was completely without merit. Russian officials have conceded the attack occurred.
On March 9, Russia blasted a maternity hospital in the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol.
Fatalities from the airstrike included a pale, bloodied pregnant woman who was photographed as she was carried from the hospital on a stretcher. Her baby died with her, the Associated Press reported. The attack left a crater in the ground, cars in flames and facilities damaged.
Ukrainian officials said at least 17 people were injured, and at least five have died since the attack, according to CNN.
