Russian drone attack
As reported, during the night, Russian forces launched drone attacks on Kryvyi Rih. This occurred just hours after the occupiers struck Kryvyi Rih with an Iskander-M ballistic missile carrying a cluster warhead.
As a result of the drone attack, one woman was killed, and seven others were injured. The cynical missile strike by the enemy on a residential area and a children's playground in Kryvyi Rih claimed the lives of 18 people, including nine children.
Additionally, on the night of April 5, Russian forces targeted Kyiv with drones. Debris fell on the left bank, causing fires. There are also reports of damage from the drone attack in the Kyiv region.
