Reuters. A Russian missile strike killed at least four people in Lviv on Thursday (July 6) in the biggest attack on the western Ukrainian city's civilian infrastructure since Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrainian officials said.
The Interior Ministry put the death toll at four, and said 34 people had been wounded, including a child. Rescuers were continuing to work at the scene.
The emergency services said they had managed to rescue seven people from the rubble and evacuated 64 others.
Reuters television footage showed residents calming their crying neighbours while others helped rescuers to sweep the shattered glass.
Mayor Andriy Sadovyi called it the largest attack of the more than 16-month-old war on civilian infrastructure in Lviv, a city that is far from frontlines and about 70 km (43 miles) from the border with NATO member Poland.
Ukraine's air force said Russia had attacked Lviv with Kalibr missiles launched from the Black Sea. It said seven out of 10 missiles were shot down.
