Reuters. A rare Russian daytime drone attack on Ukraine injured at least three 22 people and set a building in the centuries-old centre of western Lviv aflame on Tuesday (March 24), officials said, following an overnight bombardment that killed five people across the country.
Over 400 drones were launched at Ukraine in the middle of the day, Ukraine's air force said, an abrupt change from Russia's usual tactic of launching similarly massive aerial attacks at night during its more than four-year-old war.
Video footage posted online showed a drone crashing into an old building next to a church in the historic centre of Lviv, some 60 kilometers (37 miles) from the Polish border.
Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said a residential building was hit by a second drone, while debris from a third drone fell in a street.
Lviv regional governor Maksym Kozytskyi said part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site around the 17th-century St. Andrew's Church has been damaged.
