Russia Launches Massive 324-Drone Barrage Against Ukrainian Infrastructure
Russian forces launched their largest drone offensive in weeks between late April 14 and early April 15, 2026, firing 324 Shahed-type drones and three ballistic missiles. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 309 drones, but impacts occurred at nine locations, including southern port infrastructure. A powerful FAB-1500 glide bomb destroyed a landmark children’s sports facility in Sloviansk. Casualties included an 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and a woman in Zaporizhzhia, with seven others wounded.
