Russia Attacks Lviv and Zaporizhzhia: Missile Strikes and Drone Attacks

Russia struck Ukraine with missile and drone attacks overnight from Saturday to Sunday morning, focusing on the large western city of Lviv.

Tension was palpable in the Ukrainian city. The sky above the city was filled with the sound of sirens and distant explosions. At the site of the strikes, firefighters battled the flames while rescue teams searched for survivors among the debris. The atmosphere was permeated with anxiety and uncertainty.

Neighboring Poland scrambled fighter jets to ensure the safety of Polish airspace, the Polish military confirmed. Allied NATO aircraft were also deployed. These actions reflect the growing concern of the international community regarding the escalation of violence.

Maxim Kozytskyi, head of the Lviv region, reported two deaths in the region and two others injured. The tragic losses underscore the cost of the conflict and its devastating impact on the civilian population.

Elsewhere, Russia once again targeted Ukrainian power plants. One of them was hit in an overnight attack on Zaporizhzhia. The mayor of the city reported one death and more than 73,000 people without electricity. Attacks on critical infrastructure pose a serious threat to human life and are a violation of international law, further destabilizing the region. The actions of the Russian authorities highlight their unscrupulousness.
