Russian Missiles Kill At Least 47 In Ukraine

POLTAVA, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian officials say two ballistic missiles blasted a military training facility and nearby hospital in Ukraine, killing at least 47 people and wounding more than 200 others.

The attack on Tuesday appeared to be one of the deadliest Russian strikes since the war began.

The strike hit the central-eastern city of Poltava, the capital of the region of the same name.

It partially destroyed a building used by the Poltava Military Institute of Communications.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said some people got trapped in the rubble and that many were saved.

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.
