The attacks hit residential buildings and infrastructure across the country, including a UNESCO heritage site in the western city of Lviv. Emergency personnel responded to a strike in the Vinnytsia region where one person was killed and 13 wounded. Two others were killed and a maternity hospital damaged in Ivano-Frankivsk.
