Russia has launched the largest aerial attack on Ukraine over 24 hours since the war began, hitting cities across the country with 948 drones. More than 400 drones were fired yesterday alone, in an unusual daytime attack which killed and injured many across western Ukraine. Those strikes came hours after a heavy overnight attack left at least five people dead.
In Lviv city, Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said 22 people in his city were injured and warned that the number would increase. Governor of Lviv Regional State Administration, Maksym Kozytskyi, said the Bernardine monastery, a 16th-Century Unesco World Heritage Site, was damaged. A video posted by Lviv authorities shows a fire burning through the roof of a residential building near the monastery. Three other western cities, Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia and Ternopil, were also targeted. The head of the Ivano-Frankivsk region, Svitlana Onyshchuk, said two people were killed. Four, including a six-year-old child, were injured. Various buildings in the city, as well as the maternity hospital, were damaged.
Four years after Moscow launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the war continues unabated, with Russia launching near-daily attacks on cities across Ukraine. Talks brokered by the US and aimed at reaching a peace settlement have stalled since the start of US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February.
