Reported situation by area

Poltava Oblast / Kremenchuk – new strike reported (NEW): The sole new message in this batch reports a strike on a training building at Kremenchuk National University. Poltava OVA is the attributed source; РБК-Україна is the relay. The fire is stated as extinguished. Casualty figures (two injured) are described as having "grown," implying an earlier preliminary count, but that earlier figure is not supplied. No event time, weapon designation, or structural-damage detail is provided. This is the first Kremenchuk-sector report in the supplied evidence. (confidence LOW; single source, no independent corroboration)

Previously reported areas (carried forward from prior SITREP, no new evidence in this batch): Kharkiv city Osnovianskyi district (reactive-Shahed strike, outcomes pending); Korotych, Kharkiv district (2 killed, 11 injured, 13 houses damaged); Kyiv city and oblast (extended reactive-UAV tracking 02:25–02:43 UTC); Vinnytsia Oblast (reactive-UAV tracking 02:44–02:53 UTC); Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv, Volyn, and other oblasts listed in the prior baseline. Silence in this batch does not establish resolution or change in any of those areas.

Reported strikes and air-defense activity

• Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast – strike on university training building (РБК-Україна citing Poltava OVA, 03:29:41 UTC): A hostile strike is reported on one of the educational facilities at Kremenchuk National University. Fire extinguished. Two injured. No weapon type, air-defense intercept, or debris event is stated. No event time is given in the source message. (confidence LOW; single-source relay)

Reported Russian activity

• Strike on Kremenchuk university building (РБК-Україна citing Poltava OVA, 03:29:41 UTC): The attack is attributed to Russia ("РФ атакувала"). No unit designation, launch platform, or operational context is supplied. The weapon type is not identified. (confidence LOW for the attribution as reported; HIGH that the statement was published by Poltava OVA via РБК-Україна)

• No new Russian MoD communiqués, General Staff statements, or unit-level claims appear in this batch.

Reported Ukrainian activity

• Poltava OVA publishes strike assessment (РБК-Україна relay, 03:29:41 UTC): Ukrainian authorities report the Kremenchuk university strike, confirm fire suppression, and provide a preliminary casualty count of two injured. No further Ukrainian operational or General Staff reporting appears in this batch. (confidence MEDIUM that the OVA statement was issued; LOW for completeness of the assessment)

• No new Air Force tracking alerts, General Staff engagement lists, or presidential communications appear in this batch.

Civilian and infrastructure impact

• Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast – two injured, university building struck (РБК-Україна citing Poltava OVA, 03:29:41 UTC): One adult in moderate condition; one 16-year-old with concussion and contusion. A fire at the training building is reported extinguished. No structural-damage extent, utility disruption, or displacement is described. The casualty count is noted as having "grown," but the prior figure is not supplied. (confidence LOW; single source, preliminary assessment)

• Prior-batch civilian and infrastructure figures carried forward unchanged: Kharkiv Osnovianskyi strike (outcomes pending); Korotych (2 killed, 11 injured, 13 houses); Kyiv, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Dnipro, Kramatorsk, Nova Vodolaha, Khmelnytskyi, Rivne, Cersanit Zviahel, Reni, Odesa, Belgorod, Luhansk, Rostov, and other locations from earlier reporting. Silence in this batch does not establish resolution.

Information environment and disputed claims

• Kremenchuk strike (РБК-Україна, 03:29:41 UTC): The report is a single Telegram-channel relay citing Poltava OVA. No geolocation, imagery, primary OVA document, or independent verification is supplied. The phrase "кількість постраждалих зросла до двох" (the number of injured has grown to two) implies a prior lower count not included in the message, leaving the initial figure and timeline unestablished. No weapon identification is provided. (confidence LOW for the event; MEDIUM that the OVA statement exists as reported)

• Dempster-Shafer belief distribution anomaly: The supplied belief assigns ~50% to "Military Action: Drone Strike by Russia on city in Korosten" (Zhytomyr Oblast) and ~50% to Uncertainty. The only new message in this batch concerns Kremenchuk (Poltava Oblast), a different city and oblast. The DS belief does not correspond to the reported event and is not treated as corroboration. (analytic support only; not evidence)

• No competing accounts, propaganda themes, or denial statements appear in this batch.

Evidence limitations and unresolved questions

• Kremenchuk strike: The event time is not stated in the source message. The weapon type is not identified. The full extent of building damage beyond "fire extinguished" is not described. The prior (lower) casualty count implied by "grown to two" is not supplied. No independent verification—geolocation, satellite imagery, third-party assessment, or additional official statement—is included. Whether other buildings on the university campus or in the surrounding area were affected is unknown.

• No new tracking alerts, intercepts, or strikes beyond the single Kremenchuk report are established in this batch. The status of the prior overnight reactive-UAV wave across Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Vinnytsia (02:25–02:53 UTC) is unchanged by this evidence: no outcome is reported for any of those alerts.

• No new General Staff aggregate figures, Air Force summaries, presidential communications, or unit-level operational reporting appear.
