Russia has launched an unusual daytime attack on Ukraine, hitting cities across the west of the country with over 400 drones on Tuesday afternoon.
Lviv regional head Maksym Kozytskyi said the Bernardine monastery, a 16th-Century Unesco site, was damaged. A video posted by Lviv authorities shows a fire burning through the roof of a residential building near the monastery.
Three other western cities, Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia and Ternopil, were also targeted.
The head of the Ivano-Frankivsk region, Svitlana Onyshchuk, said two people were killed. Four, including a six-year-old child, were injured. Various buildings in the city as well as the maternity hospital were damaged.
In Lviv, Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said 13 people in his city were injured and warned that the number would increase.
