The Russians launched attacks on Ukraine using drones and missiles overnight on May 4. Despite air defense forces shooting down all drones, a critical infrastructure facility in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast sustained damage, resulting in injuries to two people.
Russia's attack also sparked three simultaneous fires in Kharkiv at various locations, which took over 5 hours to extinguish. Four people, including one child, were injured.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
