Kyiv, Ukraine, March 24 (AFP) Mar 24, 2026
A wave of Russian missile and drone strikes in Ukraine killed two people in the Poltava region and one in the Zaporizhzhia region, their regional military administrations said early Tuesday.

"As a result of the enemy attack on Poltava community, damage was recorded to residential buildings and a hotel. Fires broke out," Vitali Dyakivnych, head of the Poltava regional military administration, posted on Telegram.

"Unfortunately, two people died and seven were wounded as a result of the attack," he said, later revising the number of wounded to 11.

Farther south in Zaporizhzhia, a "massive combined missile-drone strike" killed one person and damaged buildings, Ivan Fedorov, head of the regional military administration, said.

"One person was killed and three others were wounded," Federov posted on Telegram.

Six apartment buildings and two private houses, a shop, non-residential buildings, and an industrial infrastructure facility were damaged, he added.
