Russia strikes Ukrainian military training unit in Poltava Oblast, military says

Editor's note: The story is being updated.

Russia launched a missile attack against a military training facility in Poltava Oblast on June 4, resulting in injuries, the Ground Forces' press service reported.  

"Thanks to timely and carefully detailed security measures... the worst has been avoided," the press service said, saying that no soldiers have been killed in the attack.

The strike follows a string of Russian attacks against Ukrainian military facilities across Ukraine.

A deadly missile strike on a training camp in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on June 1 killed at least 12 soldiers and led to the resignation of then-Ground Forces Commander Mykhailo Drapatyi, who was later appointed the commander of the Joint Forces.

The casualties sustained deep in the rear sparked backlash, with military leadership facing criticism for failing to provide adequate security for soldiers and recruits.
