Russia destroys World Health Organization warehouse in Dnipro
A World Health Organization (WHO) warehouse in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro was destroyed during a recent Russian attack, sending emergency health supplies up in smoke, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confirmed on Aug. 9.
Russia struck the facility during an attack in Dnipro, Ukraine's fourth-largest city, on Aug. 7.
The warehouse contained humanitarian medical supplies bound for the front line, Ghebreyesus wrote on X. Staff from the UN's health agency managed to evacuate 130 of some 300 pallets' worth of aid before the strike.
"I cannot say loudly enough: attacks on health care MUST STOP," Ghebreyesus said. (KYIV INDEPENDENT, Ukrane, 09.08.2026)
