At Least 5 Dead, 28 Injured in Russian Attacks Over the Past Day, Regional Authorities Report

In the early hours of April 6, 2026, Russian attacks throughout Ukraine claimed the lives of at least five civilians and injured at least 28 others, as reported by regional authorities. This information was released early in the day while Ukrainian emergency services continued their work at the sites of the attacks.

According to data provided by Ukrainian military sources, Russia launched 141 long-range drones, including approximately 80 Shahed-type drones. As a result of active measures by Ukrainian air defense forces, 114 of these drones were destroyed.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russian strikes on energy infrastructure were recorded in the Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk regions. This indicates the continuation of Russia's aggressive policy towards Ukraine's critical infrastructure.

In the port city of Odesa, where Russian forces struck a residential area, three people were killed, including one child. Sixteen others were injured, three of whom were children. Rescue operations are ongoing at the scene, and according to Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Kuleba, there are fears that more people may be trapped under the rubble.

Additionally, in the city of Nikopol, located across from the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Russian FPV drones killed a 61-year-old man and injured a 60-year-old woman. This incident underscores the danger that drones pose to civilians in combat zones.

Meanwhile, Donetsk region governor Vadym Filashkin reported one fatality in the city of Lyman, which is also on the front lines. This case highlights the dire situation in regions that are subjected to constant shelling.

In the Kherson region, five people were injured due to attacks by Russian forces, which regularly shell the city of Kherson and other coastal settlements from the occupied side of the Dnipro River. These bombardments pose serious threats to local residents who are forced to live under constant danger.

In the Kharkiv region, Governor Oleg Synegubov reported three injuries and one person suffering from acute stress reaction due to Russian attacks on 19 settlements. This indicates the severe psychological impact experienced by people living under the continuous pressure of hostilities.

Moreover, two individuals were injured by Russian drones in the Nizhyn district of the Chernihiv region, as noted by Governor Vyacheslav Chaus. These attacks continue to raise concerns among the population, which faces ongoing threats from the aggressor.

In the Zaporizhzhia region, a 46-year-old man was injured as a result of a Russian attack, while regional authorities recorded a total of 872 strikes across the region. This statistic emphasizes the scale of aggression and its impact on the civilian population.
