A Russian missile strike on the city of Poltava in central Ukraine killed at least 51 people and injured over 200. The attack targeted a military communications institute and a nearby hospital, with military personnel among the casualties. Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence reported that air raid alarms provided little time for evacuation. President Zelensky condemned the attack and reiterated calls for enhanced air defenses. The missile strike coincided with Vladimir Putin’s visit to Mongolia, which Ukraine urged to enforce the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against him.
