Daily terror: Russians again attack Mykolaiv region with drones
Air defenses are working, but the attacks are not stopping: another day of war
According to the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration, as of the morning of 22 April 2026, the past day again passed under the threat of enemy attacks. Air defense forces destroyed or suppressed 5 strike UAVs of the “Shahed 131/136” type and decoy drones of various types.
Most affected by enemy activity was the Mykolaiv Raion. Throughout the day, Russian forces attacked 4 times the territory of the Ochakiv community with FPV drones. Despite the regular strikes, this time there were no casualties among the civilian population.
These attacks once again demonstrate that the frontline communities of the region remain under constant pressure from the enemy, who uses both strike drones and decoy drones to wear down Ukrainian air defenses.
