Russia's Drone Attack on Ukraine: Three Killed, 30 Wounded in Lviv

A rare daytime drone attack by Russia on Ukraine has resulted in three fatalities and 30 injuries in the city of Lviv. The assault occurred during the day, targeting historic areas and causing significant damage to UNESCO World Heritage sites. This follows overnight strikes that killed five people across the country and disrupted power supplies in Moldova.

Over 400 drones were launched by Russia, with Ukraine's air force successfully downing or neutralizing 25 missiles and 365 drones. The attacks have led to calls for international support and air defense aid from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Multiple regions reported casualties, including a five-year-old child, and structural damage to buildings such as a maternity hospital in Ivano-Frankivsk.

Residents in affected areas are advised to remain in shelters, and officials have emphasized the urgent need for continued air defense efforts to protect civilians from further harm. The situation remains fragile, with Moldova reporting alternative routes for power supply and ongoing concerns about Russian responsibility for the attacks.
