Two high-speed Russian missiles struck Poltava, killing over 50 and wounding many. This marked one of the deadliest attacks amid intensified warfare in Ukraine.
Witnesses reported the strikes on the Poltava Institute of Military Communications occurred just after warning sirens, leading to many casualties en route to shelter.
Ukraine's President Zelensky reiterated the urgent need for military aid, specifically mentioning the requirement for seven Patriot missile-defense batteries to counter ongoing attacks.
