<p>KYIV (Reuters) -A Russian attack on the city of Poltava in central Ukraine killed two people and damaged a military recruitment centre, the Ukrainian military and regional officials said on Thursday.</p>
<p>Regional governor Volodymyr Kohut said 11 people were also wounded, while the military reported fires in the military recruitment building and in a nearby residential building.</p>
<p>Photos from the scene posted by emergency services showed firefighters battling blazes as well as damaged buildings and cars.</p>
<p>Russia has stepped up drone and missile attacks on Ukraine in the last month, and has launched some of the biggest attacks since its full-scale invasion that began in February 2022.</p>
<p>The aerial assault followed a drone attack on Monday near a military recruitment centre in the central city of Kryvyi Rih.</p>
<p>Civilians were wounded in Kryvyi Rih, the military said, adding that military personnel and civilian employees of the recruitment centre had sheltered during the air alert.</p>
<p>Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, have underlined the urgency of assistance on air defence from allies to defend against such assaults.</p>
