A Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro killed four people and wounded 21, regional governor Serhiy Lysak said.
The drone strikes caused a large fire in a hotel and restaurant complex, as well as several private homes.
"According to the information we currently have, there are four deaths in Dnipro," Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Governor Lysak said on Telegram.
Russian forces used more than 20 drones in the attack on Dnipro.
Lysak said three of the injured were in serious condition, adding that the fire in the hotel complex had been brought under control.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a pregnant woman was among the injured.
"Russia is making a mockery of the world's peace efforts - dragging out the war and carrying out these terrorist acts because it does not yet feel the real pressure," Zelensky said on the X network.
Photos and videos posted on social media showed flames and huge clouds of smoke. Others showed collapsed buildings, severely damaged upper floors of a multi-storey building and streets strewn with broken glass and debris.
On March 28, the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that an attack carried out the day before in the Bryansk region of Russia had destroyed military infrastructure at a checkpoint.
The Ukrainian Air Force carried out a strike on the Pogar border checkpoint in the Sluchovsk district of the Bryansk region, the General Staff of the Armed Forces said.
In addition to military infrastructure, the strike destroyed communication and electronic warfare equipment at the checkpoint and a video surveillance system, the Ukrainian military said. An estimated 15 to 40 Russian servicemen were killed, the General Staff said.
