According to Ukrainian officials, a Russian missile and drone attack on two apartment buildings in the western city of Ternopil has killed at least 25 people, including three children.

 The attack early on Wednesday was one of the worst in the area since Moscow began its full-scale invasion in February 2022, according to reports, and another 73 people were injured, including 15 children.

 Later, the Ukrainian air force reported that the residential apartments had been struck by Russian X-101 cruise missiles.

 A drone attack on three districts of the northeastern city of Kharkiv injured over thirty persons, and the nearby areas of Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk were also affected.  Online photos showed cars and structures on fire.
