Five killed across Ukraine in overnight Russian attacks

"Moscow has stepped up its attacks in recent weeks, particularly on Ukraine's energy grid and gas production sites. Five people have been killed in Ukraine after Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles across the country overnight, which officials said targeted civilian infrastructure. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that Russia fired approximately 50 missiles and 500 attack drones."

"Lviv's mayor, Andriy Sadovyi, said that the city was left without power and that public transport was affected. Sadovyi warned residents of the city not to go outside, citing smoke and several ongoing fires. Mykola Dmytrotsa, a resident of Lapaivka village just outside Lviv, said his house was struck. All windows were blown out, doors and everything inside, too. What else can I tell you? I do not even want to talk about it."

Russia intensified strikes across Ukraine, using missiles and hundreds of attack drones, and targeted the country's energy grid and gas production sites. Officials reported approximately 50 missiles and 500 attack drones were launched, striking multiple regions including Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Odesa, and Kirovohrad. At least five civilians were killed, including four family members in Lviv and a 15-year-old girl. Lviv suffered power outages, disrupted public transport, widespread home damage, smoke and fires, and some homes deemed uninhabitable. Residential buildings and critical infrastructure across affected areas sustained damage.
