The Vatican's Secretary of State on Wednesday called the reported bombing of a children's hospital in the besieged port of Mariupol in Ukraine "unacceptable".

"I say bombing a hospital is unacceptable. There are no reasons, there are no motivations, to do this," Cardinal Pietro Parolin told journalists who asked him, at a conference in Rome, about the reported bombing.
