In Lviv, the Russians struck an architectural landmark from the early 17th century
On March 24, during a Russian drone attack in Lviv, the Bernardine Monastery complex—an architectural monument of national significance—was damaged.
This was reported by Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the Lviv Regional State Administration.
The site is located within Lviv’s historic district and is under enhanced protection in accordance with the International List of Cultural Heritage. The fire engulfed the adjacent buildings of the complex, which is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage, and experts are currently assessing the extent of the damage.
In addition to the historical monument, strikes on critical infrastructure facilities in the Komariv and Dobrosyn-Maheriv communities of Lviv Oblast have been recorded. Thirteen people were injured as a result of the enemy attack. The Bernardine Monastery complex, built in the early 17th century, is a remarkable example of Renaissance, Mannerist, and Baroque architecture, comprising a church, cells, and defensive walls with a tower.
On March 24, Russian occupiers launched a massive attack on western regions of Ukraine using kamikaze drones. In Lviv, one of the drones struck a building in the city center, causing a fire.
This attack was part of a large-scale air offensive by the Russian Federation that on March 24 targeted several regions of Ukraine, including critical infrastructure facilities in the rear areas.
