Russia fired almost 400 long-range drones overnight plus 23 cruise and seven ballistic missiles, hitting at least 10 locations, Ukraine's Air Force said, with dozens more drones aimed at Kyiv in daylight. Officials said six people were killed and at least 46 injured; in Lviv a strike on an apartment block in the city centre injured 13 and set fire to the 17th-century St Andrew's Church in the UNESCO-listed old town, and in Ivano-Frankivsk two were killed and maternity hospitals damaged. The Institute for the Study of War said Russia's spring and summer offensive was under way, citing escalated strikes from 17 March.
