Russian Drone Strike on Ukrainian Market Kills Five
A Russian drone attack on a covered market in Nikopol, Ukraine, killed five civilians and wounded 19 others on Saturday morning. The strike occurred at 9:50 am local time in the Dnipropetrovsk region, with officials confirming three women and two men died, including a 14-year-old girl in critical condition. This incident is part of an intensified wave of daytime attacks by Moscow, which also targeted residential areas in Kharkiv and Sumy overnight, causing further casualties. Concurrently, Russia suffered its own losses when a missile and drone strike in Taganrog left one dead and four injured. Amidst the violence, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Ankara to discuss security cooperation with Turkey. While Zelensky expressed readiness for an Easter truce, the Kremlin has not yet received clear proposals. Negotiations mediated by the US remain stalled due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, though Ukraine continues to leverage its anti-drone expertise to engage with Gulf nations.
