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.
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!
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.
#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."
#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
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.
#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.
All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..

Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.
#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.
And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:
Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.
And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.
Pershiy Zavod is the largest refinery in the region - the main complex for the processing of commercial oil and gas condensate, and the capacity is 1.2m tons/yr
Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.
But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.
This is the daily🧵
Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)
Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.
Many across Europe celebrate a holiday today, the first day of May.
In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.
All yesterday's news can be found here if you missed anything:
Welcome to Sunday morning.
I'm starting early for the daily thread on Day 760 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful and sovereign neighbour #Ukraine.
There is a big danger of another missile attack from Russian aircraft. Follow for all the news all day (and night!)
It proved another marathon thread (almost 70 posts) on Saturday with the consequences of the #Kransogorsk terrorist attack dominating the agenda.

Across #Ukraine, millions are on tenterhooks. Anyone asleep will soon be woken by air alarms, with monitors sensing launches of cruise missiles from #Russian planes.
Meanwhile attack drones are also causing problems. Explosions recently in #Lviv but these seem to be air defence
