El Gobernador de Lviv, Maxim Kozytsky, confirmed that at least four people died in the attack and at least 34 were injured.
“This is the Mayor’s attack on the civil infrastructure in Lviv since the beginning of the massive invasion”, said the mayor of the city, Andrei Sadovy. He published videos that showed rescuers reviewing the rubble of a destroyed four-story apartment building and a photo of men carrying a bag for corpses. Señaló que cerca de 60 apartamentos y 50 automóviles resultaron dañados y agregó que los residentes desplazados firon trasladados a hotel area.
Serhii Kroc, Chief of the Emergency Service of Ukraine, said that “a city that meets Europeans every day in the border with Poland and has become a refuge for thousands of Ukrainians since the beginning of the war” atacada deliberadamente. En busca de supervientes bajo los escombros. “Los Russos han vulto a actuar de forma grocera sinica, Bombardiando una cidad fronteriza en Ukrania, para la posible intimidación de Europa”.
The Ukrainian air force said that the Russian Kalibr missiles were launched from warships and a submarine in the Black Sea in the darkness of the night, heading north across the Dnipro river canal before turning eastward.

“Necessitamos F-16!” She appealed to the Air Force, repeating Kiev’s demand for Western fighter jets to better defend themselves from Russian air attacks.
The western air defense systems, including the Patriot systems of American manufacture, have worked well since their arrival in April, saving the Ukrainian capital from 18 large missile bombardments alone in May. But there are no sufficient systems to cover all the country.
Zelensky and his government have advocated for F-16 fighter jets since the beginning of the total invasion of Russia in February of last year, which indicates the advantage of their enemies, although not the absolute superiority, in the skies. More than a year passed before President Joe Biden said in May that the United States would support a Western coalition to provide aircraft manufactured in the United States and train Ukrainian pilots in them.
Pero es poco probabilí que los países de la otan intregen los aviones a ukrania y tempo para usarlos y su contraofensiva para recuperar el territorio perdido, que Kiev lanzó en serio el mes pasado.
In an interview with CNN this week, Zelensky acknowledged that the counterattack was moving more slowly than he expected and said that his army could move more quickly if the American and European commanders had sent material.
Western combat tanks, engineering equipment and artillery systems have arrived in the country in the last few months. Pero muchas de las solicitudes más importantes de Ukraine, como un mayor Apoyo Areyo, se han retrasado.
Admiral Rob Bauer, President of the Military Committee of NATO, said this week that the planes will arrive in autumn as very soon.
Militarmente Esto Tin Sentido, Pero Debido al Enterenamiento [and] La logistics no es realista corto plazo.
The Minister of Foreign Relations of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, said in an interview on local television on Monday that his country will probably not receive the first F-16 until the beginning of the next year. Dijo que dos países occidentales acordaron trainnar pilotos ucranianos pero retrasaron el trainamento, que debia comenzar el mes pasado.
In a press conference last week in Kiev with the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, Zelensky criticized the western partners of Ukraine for the delay.
“Creo que algunos de los socios lo están retrasando”, he said, sin dar nombres. “Ai sé por qué hacen eso”
