Ukraine’s president has said two Russian ballistic missiles have hit an educational institution and hospitals in central Ukraine.
Russian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on his Telegram channel that at least 41 people had died and 180 were injured following a strike in the central Poltava region.
He reported that one Russian ballistic missile hit a hospital and the other an educational facility.
“One of the buildings of the Institute of Communications was partially destroyed. People found themselves under the rubble. Many were saved,” Zelenskyy said.
If the numbers are confirmed, this would be one of the deadliest airstrikes on civilians since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
