Overnight from Saturday to Sunday, Ukrainian territory became the target of a series of tragic and violent attacks. A bloody bombing attack occurred in Lviv, resulting in the death of a young policewoman. Just a few hours later, Russian forces conducted a massive missile barrage on Kyiv, raising the death toll, which immediately forced the Polish side to scramble fighter jets and close the airspace in eastern Poland.

Deadly Trap in Lviv

The detonation of improvised explosive devices overnight claimed the life of a female officer intervening in an alleged break-in among the local uniformed forces.

Aerial Missile Attacks

A tragic and extensive strike bombardment of the capital with ballistic missiles killed Ukrainian residents of the Kyiv Oblast just before the fourth anniversary of the war's outbreak.

Aviation Procedures and Airspace Closure

The proximity of the incendiary air wave forced the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency to suspend civilian airport operations in favor of fighter jets securing the Republic of Poland.

The night from Saturday to Sunday brought tragic and extremely turbulent events in western and central Ukraine, also putting neighboring countries on high alert. Just after midnight, in the very center of Lviv, a city hitherto considered a relatively safe haven, a bloody incident occurred. According to reports from city authorities and the local prosecutor's office, services received a report of an alleged break-in at a shop near the popular Magnus shopping center. When a police patrol arrived at the scene, multiple detonations of improvised explosive devices suddenly occurred. Investigators directly described this event as a precisely planned 'act of terrorism' using improvised explosive devices. Unfortunately, as a result of a ruthless trap set for the officers, a 23-year-old policewoman tragically died, and between 15 and 24 other people were injured. Some of the heavily bleeding victims required immediate hospitalization in nearby city hospitals. The lack of prior warning and air-raid sirens only confirms the extremely internal, criminal, and sabotage nature of this operation. 24 — people injured in the Lviv attack

Just a few hours after this post-incident drama in Lviv, in the early morning hours, an extremely powerful strike fell directly on the Ukrainian capital. The Russian air force command launched a massive bombardment, using heavy ballistic missiles hitting central Kyiv and the neighboring peripheral region. This unexpected raid breached private infrastructure, and the launched missiles damaged many multi-family housing estates. „Esto es definitivamente un acto terrorista. Tenemos 15 personas recibiendo atención médica. Algunas se encuentran en estado muy grave.” (This is definitely an act of terrorism. We have 15 people receiving medical care. Some are in a very serious condition.) — Mayor of Lviv Fire engulfed the highest floors of the capital's skyscrapers, forcing urgent evacuation processes. Information from the official city command center included at least one fatality from the strike and numerous affected families. Among the seriously injured and burned were a fleeing woman and her small child. DORSZ in response to this dangerous border incident immediately issued an absolute order to scramble operational pairs of duty jets, ordering protective flights. Massive Russian bombing operations traditionally gain ruthless intensity towards the end of February. The Russian Air Force systematically attacks population centers in the Kyiv Oblast around each anniversary of the large-scale invasion of Ukrainian borders, formally ongoing since 2022. As a consequence of the ongoing defensive military aviation operations, civilian airports in Rzeszów and Lublin were temporarily deprived of the right to perform operational takeoffs, resulting in delays in national logistics. The current tragic stage of military actions continues to fuel turbulent diplomatic debates regarding the formatting of a settlement process. As administrative services had previously informed, the Ukrainian president continuously maintains an open policy guiding talks aimed at ultimately ending this cruel bloodshed, under the condition of guaranteeing Ukraine firm political-deterrent support from democratic countries.
