Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight, the Ukrainian air force said Thursday, Moscow’s largest attack in weeks after US-led efforts to halt the Kremlin’s invasion.
The air force said Russian forces had launched 574 drones and 40 missiles in an attack that left at least one dead and wounded multiple others, officials said as diplomatic efforts to end the three-year war grind on. Air defence units downed 546 of the drones and 31 missiles.
Moscow and Kyiv have kept up their aerial attacks on each other as world leaders including US President Donald Trump push for a ceasefire.
“One person was killed and two were wounded as a result of the combined UAV and cruise missile strike in Lviv,” said Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the regional military administration.
“Dozens of residential buildings were damaged,” he added in a Telegram post.
Russian fire also wounded 12 people in the city of Mukachevo, near the border with Hungary and Slovakia, the city council said.
