Ukraine also struck several suspected Russian arms depots in occupied territory, including one in the city of Makiivka which produced an enormous fireball captured on video this week. A majority of documented advances are occurring around the destroyed eastern city of Bakhmut, where Ukrainian defense officials say Russian forces are “trapped in the city itself thanks to our fighters.”
Ukrainian forces are still advancing incrementally as they push counteroffensive operations across five sectors along the front lines, according to the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War. That visit “was initially kept secret for security reasons, but diplomatic sources leaked the plans Tuesday to Bulgarian outlet 24chasa.bg,” Politico reported Wednesday. “There will definitely be a response to the enemy, a tangible one,” said Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelenskyy of those Lviv strikes, writing Thursday on Telegram during a rare visit outside his country’s borders, this time to the Bulgarian capital of Sofia. Lviv is just 43 miles from the Polish border. More than 50 apartments were destroyed in the strikes, and almost three dozen other houses were damaged, according to the mayor. Ukraine’s military says it shot down seven out of 10 of those cruise missiles sent toward Lviv. At least four people were killed and more than a dozen others were sent to hospital, said Andriy Sadovyi, mayor of Lviv, writing Thursday on Telegram. Russia unleashed its largest cruise missile attack on Ukraine’s western city of Lviv since Moscow’s full-scale invasion began nearly 500 days ago.
