School left in rubble as Zhytomyr is devastated by alleged 'Russian cluster bomb' attack

VLADIMIR Putin's forces were accused of deliberately killing Ukrainian civilians today after 47 people died in one attack allegedly using deadly cluster bombs.

Elsewhere Russia launched a terrifying new bombardment in the west of the country where a school and a maternity hospital were blitzed from the air.

Terrified mothers and children were forced to take shelter in the basement of the hospital in a residential area of Zhytomyr.

At least two died in the hospital attack, while a nearby school was reduced to rubble.
