Russia strikes ‘critical infrastructure’ in Lviv, apartment building hit

Russian strikes on the western Ukrainian city of Lviv damaged “critical infrastructure” and wounded at least four people, Ukrainian authorities said. The region has remained largely peaceful so far.

“A critical infrastructure facility in Lviv has been damaged, there are injured according to initial reports,” Lviv governor Maksym Kozytski wrote on Telegram, as per news agency AFP. It was not clear whether the strikes were from drones or missiles.

Earlier, the governor had warned that “several” missiles were “moving in the direction of the western regions” while citing Ukraine’s Air Forces Command.

A Russian rocket hit an apartment building causing casualties, the governor informed saying, “A Russian rocket hit an apartment building in Lviv. There was a fire, which was quickly put out. There are victims.”
