Russian Air Strikes Hit Critical Infrastructure in Lviv Region: OVA Summary
On the night of June 28 to June 29, Russian forces launched a mass attack on Lviv Region, causing serious damage to critical infrastructure facilities. According to Maksym Kozytskyi, Head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, the enemy employed a comprehensive strike using drones and cruise missiles directed precisely at vital objects essential for the region and the country as a whole. Kozytskyi reported via social media that, based on preliminary data, there have been no casualties or serious injuries. He thanked Ukraine’s air defense for their quick and coordinated actions that helped neutralize part of the enemy’s attacks. "At the moment, all relevant services are working at the scene to evaluate the extent of the destruction as quickly as possible and to begin recovery work," Kozytskyi emphasized. Sources indicate that during this time, alarms and explosions sounded throughout the region. The enemy used Shahed-type drones as well as cruise missiles, including high-precision sea-launched missiles. It is known that the attack was part of a larger operation involving Russian strategic Tu-95MS bombers and MiG-31K fighters, which were scrambled for a targeted strike against Ukrainian facilities. Lviv Region has long been a target of Russian attacks as part of a systematic campaign to damage critical infrastructure. The explosions in the city once again signal that the enemy is not reducing their efforts and is seeking to weaken the region’s viability ahead of a possible further advance. Local services report the deployment of emergency recovery teams and ongoing monitoring of the situation to minimize the consequences of the attack and quickly restore normal operations. This missile and bomb attack demonstrates the resolve of the Russian aggressor to continue its terror tactics against Ukrainian territories, aimed at undermining stability and decreasing the population’s quality of life. In response, Ukrainian authorities urge residents to remain safe, heed air raid alerts, and support recovery efforts for the damaged infrastructure. Experts highlight the importance of strengthening air defense and protection systems at critical sites to reduce the likelihood of similar attacks in the future and to safeguard the population from destructive consequences of aggression. Thus, Lviv Region once again demonstrates high combat readiness and resilience in the face of enemy attacks, reaffirming that Ukrainian efforts toward defense and recovery enjoy unwavering support from the entire society.
