In the Kyiv region, a veterinary clinic was damaged in a strike alongside private houses, residential and administrative buildings, Ukraine's emergency service said on Friday (April 3).

Around 20 animals were killed, Kyiv region governor Mykola Kalashnyk said.

Since the beginning of the war more than four years ago, Russia has mainly carried out major drone and missile strikes at night. In recent weeks, it has repeatedly sent hundreds of drones and missiles during the daytime, setting a record for the number of weapons used in one such strike on March 24.

"Essentially, the Russians have only intensified their strikes, turning what should have been silence in the skies into an Easter escalation," President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on X.
