Flowers and toys are left on a makeshift memorial on a children's playground in Kryvyi Rih, where locals honor the memory of victims of Russia's deadly April 4 attack.

Russia's missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih on April 4 killed 20 people, including nine children, according to Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of Kryvyi Rih's military administration.

Russian forces reportedly launched a combined missile and drone attack on the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast city in the evening, setting buildings ablaze in residential districts.

The attack killed 20 people, Vilkul said on April 6. Nine children were among the victims.

"Unfortunately, the number of victims of the Russian terrorist attack on April 4 has increased to 20 people," Vilkul said. "A 57-year-old man died in the hospital from multiple wounds. Doctors were doing everything possible and impossible around the clock, but the injuries were incompatible with life."

Another 75 people sustained injuries, with victims ranging from senior citizens to a three-month-old infant. Thirty-seven of the wounded have been hospitalized.

Two children, aged 5 and 8, are reportedly in critical condition, along with 15 other hospitalized victims.

"This is what the blocked assault groups of 225 OSHP, which were written about in the afternoon on Russian resources, look like.

We waited for darkness and went to surrender ;)

Everyone is quiet, except for katsapna!" (Auto-translation)

I love the Ukrainian humor :D

According to BILD, as of early April, more than 1,000 such drones are expected to be transferred to Ukraine.
