Shelling of Ivano-Frankivsk Region: Consequences of Russian Strikes and Casualties
On the night of June 29, the Ivano-Frankivsk region was once again subjected to a missile attack by Russian forces. According to the head of the regional military administration, Svitlana Onyshchuk, the consequences of the night attack were quite destructive, with one local resident injured and several private and public infrastructure objects severely damaged. As Onyshchuk reported on social media, Russian rockets hit the territories of the Rohatyn and Bliisivtsi communities, causing a large-scale shelling of private households. As a result, fragments of explosive devices scattered across rural settlements, damaging residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. Several significant objects were particularly affected. In the village of Vasyuchyn, the extent of destruction included damage to the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin of the UGCC, notably broken windows and partial damage to the wooden bell tower, which is an important spiritual center for the community. This caused great concern among the local residents, who feared for the preservation of the region’s historical and cultural heritage. Additionally, in the village of Naraivka, a local resident was injured during the shelling. The woman was urgently hospitalized for specialized medical care. She is currently in a stable condition. The attack also damaged a residential house, prompting several families to urgently leave their homes due to inaccessibility for living. An update from Svitlana Onyshchuk emphasizes that the Russian enemies continue to deliberately inflict harm on the peaceful population and infrastructure of the region, creating a tense and dangerous situation. The settlements of Ivano-Frankivsk region are on high alert, and local authorities urge residents to exercise caution and adhere to all safety recommendations. Considering the situation, law enforcement and military personnel are working to clarify the circumstances of the attack and to conduct an investigation. The local government calls for maintaining communication with local services and following safety rules to minimize the consequences of similar incidents in the future.
