Ukraine’s air force reported it intercepted seven Kalibr cruise missiles that Russia fired towards Lviv. The Kremlin’s forces have repeatedly hit civilian areas during the war, though Russian officials say they choose only targets of military value.
Emergency crews with search dogs went through the rubble of the building after the nighttime attack destroyed the roof and the top two floors. At least 36 people were injured, according to authorities.
Debris and wrecked parked cars lined the street outside the building, which overlooks a small neighborhood park with swings and other playground equipment. Ukraine’s air force reported it intercepted seven of the 10 Kalibr cruise missiles that Russia fired from the Black Sea toward the Lviv region and its namesake city — more than 800 kilometers away — around 1 a.m. Thursday.
“Russians are hitting us. That’s how they love us. I’m sorry for those people who were killed. They were young. So sorry for them,” said Ganna Fedorenko, a local resident, holding her hands crossed on her chest. She received injuries on her face, and an adhesive plaster turned red with blood on her right cheek. “This is terrible. They hit civilians.”Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised "a response to the enemy. A tangible one.
