A devastating Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Poltava has resulted in at least 51 fatalities and hundreds of injuries, marking one of the deadliest attacks in the ongoing conflict. The strike targeted a military training facility and a nearby hospital, causing widespread destruction and chaos.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack, vowing to hold the perpetrators accountable. US President Joe Biden pledged continued military aid to Ukraine, including air defense systems, while international leaders denounced the brutality of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Rescue operations are ongoing, with 25 people saved so far, including 11 trapped under the rubble. The strike coincided with a significant government reshuffle in Ukraine, with six top officials resigning.
