Russia conducted a major aerial attack on Ukrainian cities overnight, deploying one of the largest drone and missile assaults of the ongoing conflict. According to Ukrainian officials, over 700 suicide drones and approximately 50 missile strikes were launched in the incident.
The attack primarily targeted multiple urban areas, with significant portions directed toward the historic city of Lviv, located near Ukraine’s border with Poland. Authorities reported that the assault resulted in casualties, including the death of a family of four in Lviv.
Ukraine’s defense forces responded to the strikes, attempting to intercept some of the incoming munitions. The scale of the attack has raised concerns about the intensifying military hostilities in the region, as both sides continue to sustain heavy engagements.
The incident underscores the ongoing volatility of the conflict, with Ukrainian authorities calling for increased international support and condemnation of the recent escalation. Details about damages to infrastructure and further casualties are expected to emerge as rescue and recovery efforts continue.
