As the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, it's not only Russian airstrikes Ukraine has to deal with, but also terrorist attacks such as the one on a supermarket in Lviv.

Ukraine faced its heaviest strikes in months as Russia launched around 50 missiles and nearly 300 drones, hitting cities nationwide. Air defenses intercepted many, but attacks sparked fires and damaged homes and power facilities. Kyiv reported at least one dead and multiple injured. In Lviv, two explosions killed a police officer in what officials call a targeted attack. As arrests are made, the war nears its fifth year with no breakthrough in peace talks.
