Russia unleashed the biggest aerial assault on Ukrainian cities with 948 drones used in a 24-hour period since the conflict began on February 24, 2022.

In an uncommon daytime strike that killed and wounded several people around Western Ukraine, more than 400 drones were fired on Tuesday afternoon alone.

These attacks occurred just hours after at least five people were killed in a massive nocturnal incident.

Andriy Sadovyi, the mayor of Lviv, reported that 22 persons had been hurt in his city and cautioned that the figure will rise.

The Bernardine monastery, a 16th-century UNESCO property, was damaged, according to Maksym Kozytskyi, the head of the region.

A residential structure close to the monastery had a fire burning through its roof, as seen in a video released by Lviv authorities.

Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia, and Ternopil, three other cities in Western Ukraine, were also targeted.

Svitlana Onyshchuk, the head of the Ivano-Frankivsk region, reported two fatalities. Four people including a six-year-old were hurt. The maternity hospital and several other city structures sustained damage.

On Tuesday afternoon, eleven people were hurt and one person died in Vinnytsia.

In this four-year conflict with Russia, the western portion of Ukraine has been pounded somewhat less severely and more frequently than other regions closer to the Russian border in the East.

Russia continues to bomb Ukrainian cities almost everyday four years after it began a full-scale invasion of the country.

The governor of Russia’s Kursk region said on Tuesday that a Ukrainian drone attack on an agricultural business killed one and injured thirteen others.

Negotiations mediated by the US to make a peace agreement have stagnated since the beginning of US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28.
