You will loose whatever transactions are in the (now dead/broken/lost) active redo logs.
Having a backup of the online redo logs will not help as they contain transactions from yesterday.
Just open resetlogs. You cannot recover past the last archivelog, or the last unarchived online log (not current) that may still be available on your disk.
