// Army’s Artillery Hits Hospital, Killing Dental Patient

An artillery barrage on Thursday that was apparently aimed at a rebel headquarters here smashed into the dental wing of a nearby hospital instead, killing at least one patient and wounding several others.

The pediatric part of the dental wing, empty at the time, took a direct hit. The shelling shattered dental chairs and cracked walls adorned with charts of teeth. Tweezers, drills, scalpels and other dental instruments lay scattered in the dust and debris.

Outside, Alexander Perikh sat groaning on a sidewalk, his head bandaged from recent dental surgery. He said he had unplugged his intravenous tube and run from the building when it was hit. “I don’t feel well at all,” he said.

Farther along the line of explosions, a brick balcony was knocked from an eighth-floor apartment, and the facade of a grocery store was blown apart. //
