In Ukraine, a pair of Russian missiles struck a military academy and hospital in the city of Poltava on Tuesday, killing at least 51 people and injuring more than 270 others. It was among the deadliest attacks on Ukraine since Russia’s invasion in early 2022. In a separate assault, a 38-year-old mother was killed with her 8-year-old son in a Russian strike on a hotel in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region. Survivors say the assault came almost without warning.

Anna Savchenko: “There was an explosion two minutes after the air alert was declared. We had no time to hide. There was a very powerful explosion. We heard people screaming. We understood that there was a collapse at the hotel.”

Overnight, Poland’s military said it scrambled Polish and allied fighter planes to its border with Ukraine, after Russia launched drone and missile attacks on the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. Those attacks killed seven people, including three children.

Meanwhile, several of Ukraine’s top government ministers have offered to resign as part of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s biggest shakeup of his administration to date. Among the high-profile resignations are Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and weapons chief Oleksandr Kamyshin.
