Quick Glance: Russia Strikes Chernihiv: 18 Dead, Ukraine Appeals for Air Defense
  • At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

  • Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Russia Fired Commanders Amid Failure to Recapture Kherson Ground: Report
Quick Glance: Russia Aims to Capture Chasiv Yar by 9 May
  • Ukraine's top commander stated that Russian forces aimed to capture the town of Chasiv Yar by 9 May, marking a crucial battle for control of high ground in the east where Russia is directing its assaults.
