Russian forces launched strikes across Ukraine, resulting in at least 11 deaths. The barrage of drones and missiles targeted Kyiv and other locations throughout the country, striking the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery complex, one of Ukraine's most significant religious and cultural landmarks. The cathedral caught fire during the attack.
The monastery has long served as an important site for worship and tourism before the war. The attack represents another instance of cultural heritage sites sustaining damage amid the ongoing conflict.
