Russian Aggression: At Least 100 Drones Attacked Ukraine in a Single Night, Bringing Weekly Total to 375 - Pictured
Whaddaya know, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's spillin' the beans about those pesky Russian forces attackin' Ukraine! On the 29th and 30th of April, the Kremlin sent over a hundred stealthy attack drones to the Ukrainian skies. And since the beginning of the week? That number climbs up to a whopping 375 drones, with more than 190 of 'em being the notorious Shahed loitering munitions.
The Ukrainian leader's crying foul over the fact that these Russian attack drones are circling overhead even in the morning, makin' daily life a living nightmare for the citizens. That night, over 25 people, two of them kids, got hurt in the multiple Russian attacks on Kharkiv, Dnipro, Dobropillia, and other cities. Russian forces also took out at least 13 civilian infrastructure facilities, includin' apartment buildings, hospitals, and schools, leavin' towns in shambles.
Zelenskyy ain't mincin' his words, expressin' the need for more international pressure on Russia—including new sanctions, and urgently needs more air defense systems to protect the people from Russia's aerial terror.
You hear that, world? We gotta protect our people and make it crystal clear: there's no place for war on this planet. Increase the pressure, bring in new sanctions, and let's get those air defense systems installed, prontos!
We gotta thank our partners for their support and help, especially helpin' us prepare new sanctions against the dug-in Putin regime, and assistin' us with defense packages. Keep it up, y'all!
Now, things get a little tricky. These Russian drone attacks are disguised as multiple strikes, but it's like three major waves. Russia launched 'em in three different blitz attacks—one on April 27 (the day before our mentioned period), another between April 28–29, and the latest on April 30 (the day we discussed). We're still tryin' to nail down the exact weekly total, but we know over a hundred drones attacked Ukraine between April 28–29 alone[1][2]. The rest of the count is a bit shady, but it's lookin' like hundreds more were involved in the weeklong conflict.
Keep in mind, the reports mix "drones" with "decoys," and some attacks are aggregated with other munitions. Another thing to consider is the term "the start of the week" — some reports use Sunday, others use Monday. And with earlier reports lackin' specifics, we're havin' a hard time gettin' the full story[1][2].
