Massive attacks on Ukraine
As a reminder, last night Russia launched a massive attack across Ukraine, hitting western regions hardest, including Lviv and Lviv region. The enemy used almost all available types of weapons.
Around 04:30, explosions were reported in Lviv following strikes by Shahed attack drones. Later, the city was hit by Kalibr cruise missiles launched from the Black Sea.
By morning, powerful explosions occurred in Lviv from aeroballistic Kinzhal missiles fired from MiG-31 fighters.
RBC-Ukraine reported earlier on the known consequences of the Russian attacks.
In addition to Ukraine’s western regions, Russian occupiers struck Zaporizhzhia again overnight on October 5.
As a result, tens of thousands of people were left without power.
