#Ukraine wakes after another bloody and murderous early morning.

It's Day 429 of the war and more civilians have died in #Russia's latest indiscriminate attack.

All the news right here in one place. Replies/retweets gratefully accepted to keep the account visible!

Yesterday I made a typo - it was Day 428 and not 427.

If you missed anything on Thursday, catch up right here:

#StopRussia

At least three people are dead and 8 injured when cruise missiles hit a city previously almost untouched by the war..

#Russia's barrage at around 04:00 this morning saw two rockets land in #Uman in central #Ukraine.
A large apartment block was hit and some warehouses nearby.

#Ukraine says it shot down 21 out of 23 cruise missiles of the Kh-101 and Kh-555 types, as well as 2 drones.

Air defence is improved, especially with Patriots, which is probably why #Russia targets civilians in cities which have fewer defences such as #Mykolaiv yesterday + #Uman

#Russia's dead in the war may reach 190,000 tomorrow.

Today's numbers are broadly in line with recent days, though slightly lower.

Figures are estimates by #Ukraine.

Sadly, inevitably, the death toll in #Uman' has climbed significantly.

As a result of the cruise missile attack on a nine-storey residential building it's now known that 10 people died, one a 9yo child.

18 others are injured.

News also coming in of the deaths of mother and her small child in #Dnipro

One of #Ukraine's biggest cities, it's also in the central region of the country.

Mayor of Dnipro announced the deaths after shelling by #Russia during the night, but no further details yet.

#StopRussia

There were also rockets + drones launched on #Kyiv region this morning.

The only damage and injury appears to be in the small town of #Ukrainka, south of the capital. It's thought part of a downed rocket hit a tower block, with the fragment injuring a young girl.

#Russia has cancelled its own invention "Tank Olympics"

Known officially as the Army Games, the British Intel update has a cheeky swipe, saying it may have been called off because they were not likely to win this time!

#RussiansGoHome

1/3
Seven people have died in an attack on occupied #Donetsk.

#Ukraine channels are calling it a cynical attack by #Russia on their own, to assuage its guilt over the Uman' killings.

Of course the Occupiers blame "The Kyiv Regime"

2/3
Many of the victims in #Donetsk are thought to have been on a bus when the attack happened

Without ballistics evidence it's impossible to say which side is to blame, but previously #Ukraine has struck at night during the curfew with high precision rockets on military targets

3/3
One child is reportedly among the dead in occupied #Donetsk

Many vehicles were completely burned out in the centre (video)

The old football ground and a medical centre were also damaged. #Russia says the only MRI scanner is destroyed - there used to be many but🇷🇺 stole them

In #Uman' meanwhile, more bodies have been pulled from the rubble of the apartment block.

15 is the current confirmed number of dead.
One of the victims was a fairly well known musician.
65 year old Volodymyr Makarovsky found fame with the band "Foxtrot", but was killed today.

#Iran's deadly drones use "technlogy stolen from #Germany."

That's the finding of a CNN report into the killer attack UAVs which have been killing people in #Ukraine since the early months of the war.

edition.cnn.com/2023/04/28/wor…

#India pledged support to #Russia after the countries' Defence Ministers met in New Delhi.

"The ministers expressed satisfaction with the continued trust and mutual respect between the two countries and reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening the partnership."

#StopRussia

22 civilians have died in the #Uman' massacre.

#Russia says it hit concentrations of #Ukraine's troops. Three children perished in the cruise missile attack on an apartment block.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

A landmine exploded next to the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in #Enerhodar.

The Head of the IAEA also reports continued shelling nearby.

#RussiaOnFire - this time we go to #Omsk where another village has been consumed by flames and the whole region has problems.

In #Logovoe (left) there are 23 houses. 18 have been damaged by the wildfire.
On the right a map of the current fires in the region!

Not sure whether this story in the New York Times is reassuring or scary.

A team of nuclear experts will train personnel, monitor data, deploy radiation sensors and warn of deadly radiation for #Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine

#Hungary's PM Viktor Orbán was delighted the Pope was visiting the Catholic country.

But The Pontiff appears to have openly criticised his host over rising nationalism and not welcoming refugees.
The Pope called for creative efforts for peace in #Ukraine

Sad to see what @amnesty has become.

NY Times publishes the highly critical report, which Amnesty's directors have "sat on" for months.
It says the criticism of #Ukraine was “written in language that was ambiguous, imprecise" and was not provem.
