Putin’s forces launch 280-drone assault on Ukraine - latest

Russian forces launched a massive drone assault on Ukraine, killing five people and injuring 19 in a market attack. The attack comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of an 'Easter escalation' and proposed a halt in strikes for Easter.

Russian forces launched a drone attack on a market in the Dnipropetrovsk region, killing five people and injuring 19. The attack damaged market stalls and a shop in the city of Nikopol. Another attack in the city of Sumy targeted houses, cars, and utility networks, wounding 11 people. Ukrainian air defence forces destroyed or jammed 260 drones overnight. The attack comes amid an intensified recruitment drive by Russia to replenish its military ranks. Russia has been offering significant financial incentives to students to join its drone units fighting in Ukraine.
