POLTAVA, Ukraine — Two ballistic missiles blasted a military training facility and nearby hospital Tuesday in Ukraine, killing at least 47 people and wounding more than 200 others, Ukrainian officials said, in one of the deadliest Russian strikes since the war began.
Shattered bricks were visible inside the closed gates of the institution, which was off-limits to the media, and pools of blood could be seen just outside. Poltava is about 350 kilometers southeast of Kyiv, on the main highway and rail route between Kyiv and Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, which is close to the Russian border.
Rescue crews and medics saved 25 people, including 11 who were dug out of the rubble, a Defense Ministry statement said.“A great tragedy for Poltava region and entire Ukraine,” Pronin wrote on his Telegram page. “The enemy certainly must answer for all crimes against humanity,” he said.
