At least 5 dead in large-scale nighttime Russian strike on Ukraine
"Moscow sent over 50 ballistic missiles and around 500 drones into nine regions across Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday morning. Four people, including a 15-year-old, died in a combined drone and missile strike on Lviv, according to regional officials and Ukraine's emergency service. The historic western city is often seen as a haven from the fighting and destruction further east. At least six more people sustained injuries, according to a statement by Ukraine's police force."
"The strike left two districts without power and public transport suspended for a few hours early Sunday, mayor Andriy Sadovyi reported. He added that a business complex on the outskirts of Lviv was on fire following the strike, describing it as a civilian facility not linked to Ukraine's war effort. One person was also injured in the Ivano-Frankivsk region south of Lviv, according to local Gov. Svitlana Onyshchuk."
Overnight strikes involving more than 50 ballistic missiles and roughly 500 drones struck nine Ukrainian regions, causing civilian deaths, injuries, and widespread damage. Four civilians, including a 15-year-old, were killed in Lviv in a combined drone and missile strike; at least six others were injured and parts of the city lost power with public transport temporarily suspended. A business complex on Lviv's outskirts caught fire and was described as a civilian facility. In Zaporizhzhia a woman was killed and nine people wounded; about 73,000 households lost power. Sloviansk and other towns suffered residential damage, injuries, and destroyed property. Kyiv reiterated calls to Western partners for additional support.
