Six people killed and 18 injured in heavy drone and missile attacks across Ukraine early on Sunday

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused the west of “zero real reaction” to Russia’s escalating bombing campaign against Ukraine, after a massive attack on Sunday killed six people and injured 18.

The western city of Lviv, normally considered one of the safest in the country, suffered its most sustained and serious bombardment since the start of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion.

For five hours, Russian Shahed drones and missiles targeted the city, which is about 70km from the Polish border. Large explosions were audible from the centre, a Unesco world heritage site.

Victims included a 15-year-old girl, who died with three members of her family when their house was flattened in the village of Lapaivka in the Lviv region. Eight others were hurt in the same strike. One person died in the city of Zaporizhzhia when drones struck an apartment block.
