President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Telegram, CE Report quotes Ukrinform.
“In total, overnight, the Russians launched more than 140 attack drones against Ukraine, nearly 80 of them 'shaheds.' In some regions, strikes are still ongoing. And this is only part of what our people endure every day. During the past week, over 2,800 attack drones were used, along with nearly 1,350 guided aerial bombs, and more than 40 missiles of various types,” Zelensky wrote.
Zelensky emphasized that the Russians attacked Odesa with combat drones overnight, damaging residential buildings, a kindergarten, and a regional power substation. Thousands of households were left without power, and repair crews are working to restore electricity.
“As of now, tragically, three people have been reported killed in this attack, including a child – just two years old. My sincere condolences to the families and loved ones. Sixteen people have been wounded. Eleven of them have been hospitalized by our medics, including a pregnant woman and two children. The youngest is not even a year old. Two people have also been injured in the Kharkiv region,” the president emphasized.
Zelensky also added that there were strikes on energy infrastructure in the Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
“Right now, all partners need to strengthen air defense together so that the interception rate of drones and missiles continues to increase. This is a daily effort for everyone, not just Ukraine, because through supplies, support for us, and joint work, our partners are helping themselves as well. Russia has no intention of stopping. I thank everyone who understands this and contributes to our shared defense,” Zelensky stressed.
As reported, April 6 was declared a day of mourning in Odesa for those killed in the nighttime enemy attack.
