As a result of the terrorist actions of the aggressor country, four people were killed and at least eight were injured, Ukrainian media reported.

Emergency services worked at the sites of the strikes to remove the rubble and help people. The head of the Lviv regional military administration, Maksym Kozitsky, said so on his Telegram channel.

"A critical infrastructure facility in Lviv has been damaged, preliminarily people injured," the official wrote.

He later added that a Russian missile hit an apartment building - there was a fire, which was promptly extinguished.

"There are casualties. Firefighters, medics and specialists of the State Emergency Service are working at the site. People are being provided with all necessary assistance. Rescuers are removing the rubble," the RMA head said.

He and the Mayor of Lviv Andriy Sadovy have published a video message from the scene of the tragedy. The mayor pointed out that as of 05:20, eight wounded were known, one person was in serious condition.

According to him, as a result of the Russian missile attack about 60 flats of the said multi-storey building and a number of other houses around it were damaged.

"This is the biggest attack on Lviv's civilian infrastructure since the start of the full-scale invasion. There are dead and wounded. More than 50 dwellings have been destroyed. Residential buildings have had their roofs blown off, offices, a schools and a hostel have been destroyed. Hundreds of dwellings will need rebuilding. But we will do it all. The main thing is that, unfortunately, people have died," Sadovy commented.
