Ukraine's President Zelensky says 41 people have been killed in a Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Poltava.
Another 180 were wounded, the president said.
The preliminary report suggests two missiles hit an "educational institution" and a hospital, Zelensky added.
Unconfirmed reports say a military training centre was one of the buildings hit.
Ukraine's Ministry of Defence says people were hit while heading to bomb shelters, shortly after an air raid siren.
Three days of mourning have been declared in Poltava, regional leader Philip Pronin says.
The city of Poltava lies some 130km (81 miles) south-west from Ukraine's second city of Kharkiv.
As we've been reporting, it is not a frontline town, but is within range of long-range missiles.
