Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reported that two Russian ballistic missiles hit a hospital and an educational facility in Poltava, resulting in at least 41 deaths and 180 injuries. He noted that one building of the Poltava Military Institute of Communications was partially destroyed, with many people trapped under the rubble. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko confirmed that at least 25 individuals had been rescued in response to the attacks, highlighting the severity of this event as one of the deadliest since the war began.
Despite the ongoing conflict and an ICC arrest warrant against him, Russian President Vladimir Putin continued his visit to Mongolia. This is controversial given that Mongolia is an ICC member and is obliged to arrest him. Capitalizing on this, Putin met with Mongolian President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, showing defiance in the face of international legal actions. Ukraine's government has requested that Mongolia comply with the ICC order and detain Putin, intensifying diplomatic tensions surrounding this visit.
