Strike drones of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces hit two Russian helicopters, a Mi-28 and a Mi-17, in the Voronezh region. During the strike, one of the helicopters reportedly had a maintenance specialist on board, who was killed.
A Ukrainian FPV drone struck a truck carrying 11 Russian assault troops in the Huliaipole area of the Zaporizhzhia region.

In Mali, Tuareg FPV drones carried out strikes against vehicles and personnel of Russian-linked forces and the Malian junta at a base near the city of Kidal. Footage shows multiple hits on equipment and positions during the attack.
During the night of April 28, drones of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces Middle-strike units hit a storage site for Iskander operational-tactical missile systems in occupied Crimea. The concealed equipment was located on the territory of a former missile base near the settlement of Ovrazhky, around 40 kilometers east of Simferopol. From this location, missiles could reach the frontline or rear Ukrainian cities within minutes. Resistance movement sources had repeatedly reported enemy missile launches from the site. The strike on these strategic systems is aimed at reducing Russian combat capability and weakening its ability to wage war against Ukraine.
The humanitarian situation in occupied Oleshky has reportedly deteriorated sharply. Since April 15, the city has effectively been under blockade. Vehicles carrying gas and food reportedly hit mines — the drivers survived, but since then no one has been willing to risk entering the city.
Food and basic goods are now in extremely short supply. To buy essentials, residents are forced to travel to Skadovsk via a mined “road of death” that remains under fire. People reportedly carry other people’s bank cards and pay a fee just to withdraw cash.
Around 50 children are still believed to remain in the city.
