In Marganets, Dnipropetrovsk region, the number of casualties resulting from a missile attack using a kamikaze drone has significantly increased — currently, reports indicate 54 wounded, including nine who have died
This tragic event serves as yet another testament to the scale of the destructive war that Russia is waging against Ukraine, deliberately striking civilian infrastructure and peaceful residents. According to Serhii Lysak, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, current data shows that as of today, 31 injured individuals are in hospitals in the city of Marganets. The remaining victims received outpatient medical assistance without hospitalization. The local authorities have already announced a three-day mourning period in memory of those who lost their lives, emphasizing the importance of remembrance and unity during these difficult times. An official source reports that this tragedy occurred in the early hours of April 23, when Russia intensified attacks on Ukraine's southern regions. Preliminary information indicates that the aggressors used a kamikaze drone to strike a bus transporting employees of a local enterprise. Information services note that the enemy drone penetrated the city's airspace the day before and targeted the vehicle intentionally, at a time when it was on the move. Law enforcement and security agencies emphasize that this attack once again demonstrates the level of cruelty and cynicism of the Russian occupiers, who are indifferent to civilian lives. They deliberately targeted objects near civilian populations to instill fear and disrupt the normal rhythm of life in Ukraine. Social services and local authorities have already begun investigating the causes and circumstances of the attack, as they work to coordinate efforts to provide assistance to the victims and their families. Residents express outrage and deep sorrow over this new act of terror, underscoring the need to strengthen protections for the population and to escalate international reactions to the actions of the aggressor. This event once again highlights the importance and timeliness of support from the Ukrainian and global communities, as every tragedy and every lost life serves as a reminder of the cost of peace and security. Ukraine continues to call for unity and solidarity in resisting external aggression and for increased efforts to restore peace and justice.
