At least four people have died this morning in the western city of Lviv from Ukraine as a consequence of hit by a russian missile against a multi-storey building, as reported by the Ukrainian Ministry of the Interior in its Telegram account.

The attack has destroyed the third and fourth floor of the building. At least nine people have been injured and rescue services continue to work among the rubble in the possibility of more victims.

The President of Ukraine has condemned the attack with a message posted on Telegram along with a video of the building partially destroyed by missile. “There will undoubtedly be a response to the enemy, a tangible response,” Zelensky wrote, offering his condolences to the families of the victims.

The anti-aircraft alarms had been activated around half past two in the morning in Lviv, with more than 700,000 inhabitants and one of the large Ukrainian urban centers furthest from the front, when identifying the Ukrainian Air Force “several enemy missiles targeting the western provinces” from the country.

The Lviv Military Administration announced the explosions that they caused the tragedy shortly before at three in the morning local time. According to this source, the attack would have also damaged critical infrastructure, in addition to hitting a residential building.

At the moment, no details are known about the number and type of missiles used by Russia in this new deadly night attack against a Ukrainian city.
