24 years have passed since the rocket attack on Grozny by Russian troops

On October 21, 1999, the Russian army launched a missile attack on the central market of Grozny, a maternity hospital, the Main Post Office and a mosque in the village of Kalinina. As a result, according to various sources, up to 150 people were killed and about 400 were injured. The victims were mostly civilians, including women, children and the elderly.

One of the rockets exploded in the courtyard of the only operating maternity hospital in Grozny. 13 women and 15 newborn babies died.

Based on the debris, including those with preserved markings, it was possible to establish that surface-to-surface missiles, equipped with cluster warheads exploding in the air for greater destructive effect, exploded over the city that day. They were released from the Tochka-U complex.
