Russia Shoots Down Nine UAVs Over Kursk Amid Ongoing Strikes

Ukrainian and regional outlets focus on Russian strikes that they say are killing and injuring civilians in Donetsk, Kherson, Sumy and other oblasts. They highlight incidents such as the drone strike on an ambulance and the deaths and injuries from shelling and missile attacks as evidence that Russia is targeting or disregarding civilian areas and services. These reports suggest that continued Russian attacks will keep causing casualties and damage far from the front line, even as Ukraine uses drones against Russian territory.

• •Russian strikes on 2026-04-14 killed at least two people and injured 18 across several Ukrainian regions.
• •Attacks on 2026-04-12 in Donetsk and Kherson oblasts killed three people and injured nearly 30 others.
• •A Russian drone strike on Orthodox Easter night in Sumy Oblast hit an ambulance and injured three medics.
• •Russian forces are using drones, artillery and missiles against towns and cities in eastern and southern Ukraine.
• •Ongoing Russian attacks on civilian areas and emergency services will keep raising the death toll and straining Ukraine’s medical system.
