On February 5, 2026, an air alert was declared in Lviv after a "Shahed" type drone attacked the city. According to reports from officials, the drone was launched by Russian occupiers from the Volyn region, but thanks to the coordinated actions of the local mobile fire group, the drone was destroyed.
The attack began after 4:00 PM, and just a few minutes later, the residents of Lviv heard the sounds of explosions. According to information from Andriy Sadovyi, the mayor of Lviv, the attack was aimed at a critical infrastructure facility, but thankfully, no one was injured and no significant damage was recorded.
Additionally, Maxym Kozytskyi, the head of the Lviv Regional State Administration, confirmed that the drone attempted to strike energy infrastructure. He called for local communities to cooperate in supporting air defense measures: "We need to unite efforts to secure the sky over Lviv region," Kozytskyi noted.
After the attack, debris from the drone fell near a substation in the village of Pidbirtsi, causing minor damage; however, according to information from the Department of Civil Protection of the Lviv Regional State Administration, no fires occurred and there were no injuries.
This incident occurred against the backdrop of increasing drone attacks on the territory of Lviv, reminding residents of the constant danger that threatens the region in wartime.
