Russian drone strikes targeted the Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv and Dnipro late Tuesday, killing at least one person and injuring around 50 others, according to local officials. And, a drone strike continues in Dobropillia in Donetsk Oblast on Wednesday.
Kharkiv, located in northeastern Ukraine near the Russian border, has frequently come under attack since the start of the full-scale invasion over three years ago. The regional governor, Oleh Syniehubov, reported that 47 people, including two children and a pregnant woman, were injured in the latest strike on the city.
Additionally, Russian forces carried out a drone strike on the Ukrainian city of Dobropillia in Donetsk Oblast on Wednesday, April 30. Following the attack, firefighters responded to a Ukrainian Red Cross facility and a nearby café to put out the resulting fires.
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov noted that multiple districts were hit, damaging apartment buildings, homes, a medical facility, and other infrastructure.
In Dnipro, located in southern Ukraine, a 53-year-old man was killed and one other person injured, said regional governor Serhiy Lysak. He described the situation as a "difficult night for Dnipro", with fires and home damage reported.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that more than 100 drones were used across the country in the overnight assault. He emphasized the need for stronger international sanctions against Russia to push for a ceasefire, especially calling for increased pressure from the United States.
While Russia’s President Vladimir Putin announced a three-day ceasefire from May 8-10 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s World War II victory, Ukrainian officials reported increased Russian military activity in eastern regions. General Oleksandr Syrskyi said Russian forces have intensified their operations despite the ceasefire declaration.
Additional casualties were reported in other regions: one man was injured in a Russian strike in the partially occupied Zaporizhzhia region, and two people were wounded in shelling in the southern city of Kherson.
