On 19 November 2025, a Russian strike on two apartment buildings in the Western Ukrainian city of Ternopil killed at least 25 people, including 3 children, and wounded at least 73, including 15 children. ^{[1] [2]} The strike was one of the deadliest in Western Ukraine since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war in 2022. ^[3]

Attack

The strike occurred during a series of attacks by Russia on Western Ukraine, in which Russia launched at least 470 drones and 48 missiles, reportedly targeting Ukraine's energy and transport infrastructure. ^[4] The series of strikes caused Poland and Romania to shut down airports in their countries and scramble fighter jets in concern over airspace safety. ^[5]

Two residential buildings on Stusa Street and 15 Kvitnia Street and an industrial facility were hit. ^[6]
