Russia Attacks Western Ukraine with Drones and Missiles

Kyiv (Eurotoday Newspaper) – Russia conducted a new overnight attack on Ukraine on Saturday, launching a barrage of drones and missiles. The strike focused on the country’s western region and resulted in at least two deaths in Chernivtsi, a city on the border with Romania.

What damage was reported in Chernivtsi and Lviv?How many drones and missiles were launched in the previous attack?

In July 2025, Russia greatly increased its air operations against Ukraine, unleashing record numbers of drones and missiles in synchronizing attacks. These air attacks not only hit the front-line regions, but also hit western cities of Ukraine that were considered previously safe, taking many lives and inflicting vast infrastructure damage.

Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said that Western Ukrainian cities of Lviv, Lutsk, and Chernivtsi were affected the most due to the Russian attacks, and other Ukrainian areas were also attacked. 

“Russia continues to escalate its terror, launching another barrage of hundreds of drones and missiles, damaging residential areas, killing and injuring civilians,”

Sybiha stated in a post on X, restating the call for more robust sanctions against Russia.

“Russia’s war machine produces hundreds of means of terror per day. Its scale poses a threat not only to Ukraine, but to the entire transatlantic community.”

What damage was reported in Chernivtsi and Lviv?

Moreover, Ruslan Zaparaniuk, the governor of the Chernivetskyi region, stated that two people were killed and 14 others injured as Russian drones and a missile hit the city, located approximately 40 kilometres from Ukraine’s frontier with Romania.

Multiple fires erupted throughout the city, damaging residential and administrative structures, according to regional officials. In Lviv, near Ukraine’s border with Poland, the attack caused damage to 46 homes

    Another day, another drone delivery from Russia – must be their version of “customer service”! At this rate, we might as well start a frequent flyer program for missiles. 😂
