Explosions were heard in the early hours of May 4 in Kiev, Zaporizhia, Odessa and Kramatorsk, Donbass. Russia struck Ukraine again with Iranian-made drones.

In Kostiantynivka and Avdiivka, Ukrainians have learned to live under bombardment. The city of AvdiIVka, north of Donetsk, has been plagued for months by intense shelling by the Russian army, which tries, in vain, to surround it.
