Ukrainian officials have not said how many of the victims were military or civilians.
"Sadly, three more people who were injured as a result of the Russian attack on Poltava on September 3 have died in hospital. The death toll has risen to 58," Poltava Governor Philip Pronin said in a post on Telegram.
The attack triggered widespread condemnation among Kyiv's international backers and some anger at home after reports suggested Russia had targeted a military ceremony taking place outside.
After the attack, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky repeated his calls for the West to deliver more air defence systems.
