A Russian strike on Lapaivka village, Lviv oblast, western Ukraine, killed 15-year-old Anastasia Hrytsiv, her mother, and grandparents in their family home on October 5th. The attack, which occurred during the night and involved 549 drones and missiles launched by Russia across Ukraine, completely destroyed the residence. According to Euromaidan Press, five people were killed and 10 injured nationwide during this period. Rescuers found the bodies of Anastasia and her family "literally torn apart" in the rubble, a relative identified as Halyna told Kyiv24. "In the 21st century, they're [Russia] tormenting a country like this and the world is simply watching," Halyna stated, expressing disbelief at the ongoing conflict. Anastasia's school, Lapaivka Lyceum, mourned her loss, stating, "We cannot believe she won't return to class." This incident occurred amidst reports of ongoing drone activity in Ukraine and a two-month-long Ukrainian campaign of striking Russian oil refineries, as noted in previous reports within the last 24 hours. While specific details of the broader Russian overnight offensive are emerging, the attack on Lapaivka highlights the civilian toll of the conflict.
