Russian attacks on western Ukraine have killed one person and injured multiple others, Ukrainian officials reported on Thursday, as diplomatic efforts to end the three-year conflict continue.
Lviv Region:
| Incident | Casualties | Damage Details |
| UAV and cruise missile strike | 1 killed, 2 wounded | Dozens of residential buildings damaged |
Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, confirmed the casualties on Telegram, stating: “One person was killed and two were wounded as a result of the combined UAV and cruise missile strike in Lviv. Dozens of residential buildings were damaged.”
Mukachevo (near Hungary and Slovakia):
- 12 people wounded by Russian fire
- 5 patients receiving treatment locally
- 1 transferred to the regional hospital
Reported by the Mukachevo City Council on Facebook, highlighting the ongoing impact on civilian areas.
Lutsk:
- Mayor Igor Polishchuk confirmed a Russian attack using UAVs and missiles
- No injuries or fatalities reported
The Russian Defence Ministry claimed it had destroyed 49 Ukrainian aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) across multiple regions, though it did not provide information on casualties or damage.
The attacks come amid a flurry of US-led diplomacy aimed at ending the conflict:
- US President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska
- He subsequently hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in Washington for separate talks
- Moscow and Kyiv continue aerial strikes despite international calls for a ceasefire
The ongoing violence in western Ukraine underscores the fragility of peace negotiations and the continued threat to civilian populations.
