Summary
Russia’s recent missile and drone strikes across Ukraine—particularly in Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia—have caused widespread devastation to civilian infrastructure, killed at least 34 in one strike alone, and injured dozens more, including children and a pregnant woman. The UN condemned these attacks as violations of international humanitarian law, highlighting a 50% spike in civilian casualties from February to March and a worsening humanitarian crisis as April nears its end.
