KYIV, Ukraine – At least 47 people were killed and 206 wounded when Russia struck a military institute in the central town of Poltava with two missiles on Tuesday, September 3, Ukraine’s first lady said, the war’s deadliest single attack this year. The use of ballistic missiles — which hit targets hundreds of kilometres away within a few minutes of their launch — meant the victims had almost no time to find cover after the air raid siren sounded, the foreign ministry said.
“One of the institute’s buildings was partially destroyed, and many people were trapped under the rubble,” the defense ministry said on Telegram. Zelenskyy repeated his calls for more Western air defenses and urged allies to allow their long-range weapons to be used for strikes deeper into Russian territory in order to protect Ukraine.
