As of April 6, 2026, Russia had carried out large-scale missile and drone (UAV) attacks on the Kyiv region and other areas of Ukraine, but official reports do not confirm the destruction of “NATO weapons and drone factories” in Kyiv as you mentioned.

Attack in Kyiv: On April 3 and 4, 2026, Russia launched nearly 500 UAVs and missiles in a “large-scale” daytime attack. In the Kyiv region, targets hit included civilian infrastructure, high-rise buildings in satellite towns such as Bucha, Fastiv, Obukhiv, and even a veterinary clinic, killing approximately 20 animals.

Statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense: Russia claims the attacks targeted Ukrainian military-industrial complexes and airport infrastructure. While Russia often claims to target drone manufacturing facilities, there is no independent evidence confirming the existence of any “NATO factories” directly in Kyiv that were destroyed in this attack.

Damage and Casualties: At least 14-15 people were killed nationwide in the Easter airstrikes. Ukraine’s power system was also affected, causing emergency power outages in many areas.

Ukrainian Response: President Zelenskyy accused Russia of deliberately escalating the attacks just as Ukraine proposed a ceasefire for Easter. Ukraine retaliated by attacking oil facilities and explosives factories deep within Russian territory, such as in the Leningrad and Tatarstan regions.
