In Lviv, a Russian drone fell on a children's playground near the monument to Stepan Bandera, head of the leadership of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.

According to Ukrinform, Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi reported this on Facebook.

"An enemy drone fell on a children's playground near the Bandera monument. A symbolic place – the one the aggressor fears most," the mayor said.

According to preliminary information, there were no casualties. At the same time, Sadovyi noted that "the blast wave slightly affected a tractor driver who was clearing snow, but he is fine."
