Russia has launched a fresh wave of missile and drone strikes on civilian areas across Ukraine, killing at least five people, as Moscow appears to be stepping up a spring offensive intended to break Ukrainian resistance along the front.

The strikes continued into Tuesday, when a Russian drone hit a residential building in the historic centre of the western city of Lviv in a rare daytime attack. At least seven people were wounded, local officials said. Footage circulating online showed a large kamikaze drone hitting a site in the city centre. According to preliminary information, a Unesco world heritage site was damaged. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said the barrage had caused damage in 11 regions and he renewed calls for allies to urgently supply Kyiv with more air defence munitions. Zelenskyy has repeated that Ukraine faces looming shortages as Washington’s attention remains focused on the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. #lviv #ukrainewar #russia #dronestrike
