Russian rockets and drones struck across Ukraine once again - 13 dead, among them a 12-year-old child. Dozens injured in Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, and Kharkiv. A low-flying drone hit an 18-story building in Kyiv, and rescue teams pulled a mother and child from the ground floor.

Kyiv

Four to five killed, 45 injured. Projectile fragments struck the sixth floor of a residential building in the Podil district. A major fire broke out in a northern district building. Four emergency medics injured on site. Mayor Klitschko confirmed rescue operations are ongoing.

Odesa

Seven dead, 11 injured. Multiple waves of rocket and drone attacks. Residential buildings engulfed in flames.

Dnipro

Two dead, 27 injured. Residential buildings burning.

This is Ukraine's daily reality in April 2026 - drones into apartment buildings, children among the victims, rescue teams running from ruin to ruin. And the world is discussing trade tariffs and strait blockades. How many dead civilians does it take to refocus attention?
