Russian cruise missile strikes kill two in Ukraine, officials report

The attack in Lviv led to the destruction of a building and ignited a fire, according to Governor Maksym Kozytskyi, who provided updates via the social media app Telegram. Rescue operations were underway in the affected area.

In the Kharkiv region, Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported that an air attack resulted in the death of a 19-year-old man when a missile struck a gas station.

Additionally, in Ukraine's Odesa region, hundreds of thousands of residents were left without power following an incident where debris from a downed Russian drone caused a blaze at an energy facility. Governor Oleh Kiper stated that approximately 170,000 homes experienced power outages due to the attack, as confirmed by Ukraine's largest private electricity operator, DTEK.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to exact a toll on civilian infrastructure and lives. Ukrainian officials have been grappling with the aftermath of multiple attacks, including a recent assault on a hydroelectric power station in Dnipro, where over 60 drones and nearly 90 missiles were fired, according to reports from Ukrainian authorities.
