Night raids escalate across Ukraine. Kharkiv to Lviv under siege

Another nighttime attack targeted Ukraine with rockets and drones, causing explosions across multiple regions, including Kharkiv and parts of western Ukraine. "This is how the Russians launched their assault on Stryi in the Lviv region today, attacking from three directions," reported the Truha Ukraina portal.

"Explosions were heard in Kharkiv, located in the northeast of Ukraine, early Thursday morning as the city came under attack from Russian rockets," Mayor Igor Terekhov reported via the Telegram channel.

Oleg Synyehubov, the governor of the Kharkiv region, reported that the enemy launched at least nine strikes against Kharkiv and its outskirts, potentially disrupting the power supply.

Additionally, according to the region's governor, Ivan Fyodorov, explosions were reported in the Zaporizhzhia region, situated in the south of Ukraine.

The situation was also tricky in Kyiv, where an alarm was activated due to a missile threat, specifically from manoeuvring missiles launched by Tu-95MS aircraft, said the head of the Kyiv Military Administration, Serhiy Popko.

Hostile Russian drones also infiltrated the airspace over the Lviv region. According to Maksym Kozytsky, the head of the Lviv military administration, the air defence systems were active in the Lviv region early, around 5 AM Eastern Time.

The Truha Ukraina portal conveyed that "this is how the Russians conducted their attack on Stryi in the Lviv region today, from three angles."

Ukrainian media have reported an increase in Russian manoeuvring missiles in the airspace.
