Kyiv: a series of “strong” Russian strikes on military infrastructure in Lviv on Monday left at least six dead and lit Brazes in the city of West Ukraine who had been spared from a fierce battle.Lviv residents told AFP they could see gray feathers that rose above the housing building and air strike sirens were heard throughout the city during and after strikes.
“At present, we can confirm that six are dead and eight injuries. A child among the victims,” said Regional Governor Lviv Maksym Kozytsky on social media.He said that four Russian missiles had targeted Ukrainian military infrastructure and that the car tire center had also been beaten.”The fire departed as a result of a strike. They are still extinguished. Facilities are badly damaged,” Kozytsky said.The twenty-one-year-old Lviv Resident Andrei said he was sleeping when the siren began to wail around 8:00 a.m. (0600 GMT).
“I slept through the first three punches, but then when the last one hit, it was like my window would break, and the furniture moved,” he told AFP.Lviv, near the border of Ukraine with Poland, has so far been saved in the worst battle triggered by the Russian invasion to the pro-west neighbor almost two months ago.The city instead became a protection for displaced people from the eastern wounded war and at the beginning of the battle that hosted several Western embassies transferred from Kyiv.Monday’s attack came when Russia had intensified strikes in and around the capital Kyiv further east, targeting several days a number of facilities that produce military hardware.The bombing came after Moscow vowed to increase the strike in the capital as a response to what was claimed by Russian military officials was a Ukrainian attack on Russian land and the sinking of the Moskva warship.
“Five strong missile blows at once at the civil infrastructure of the old city of Lviv,” Miraculous President of Ukraine Mykhaylo Podolyak wrote on Twitter.Russia continues the savaga attacking the cities of Ukrainians from the air, sarcastically stating all over their world ‘right’ to kill Ukraine,” he said.The Ukrainian national train head Alexander Kamyshin said on social media that some site infrastructure had been damaged and the possibility of a delay in service, but no passengers or staff were injured.
AFP Journalists saw black smoke billowing from the roof of the gate from a car repair shop above the railroad track in the northwest of the city, about four kilometers (2.5 miles) from the city center.Lviv at the end of March was hit by a series of Russian strikes targeting fuel depots and injuring five people. On March 18, the bombing hit aircraft repair planes near Lviv airport. No injury reported.Russian Cruise Missile on March 13 targets a major military base of around 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of Lviv, killing at least 35 people and injuring 134.
