THE NEW YORK TIMES: They were the first known deaths from the war in the western city, which until now had been spared the worst violence. The strike appeared to be part of a Russian campaign to target major cities.
Russian forces launched a rare missile strike on Monday on Lviv, killing at least seven people in the first known deaths from the war in the western city that until now had been relatively untouched by violence, according to the authorities.
Witnesses reported flames and smoke rising from what appeared to be at least three impact sites on the outskirts of a train complex in the western part of Lviv, which has taken in hundreds of thousands of people fleeing violence in the north and east of Ukraine. At least 11 people were injured in the attacks, including a child, the Lviv mayor, Andriy Sadovyi, said on Telegram.
