At least fifteen people, including a 10-year-old child, were injured in a Russian missile strike on the western city of Lviv overnight on Aug. 15, according to the city’s mayor Andriy Sadovyi.
"A residential building was ruined. All the upper floors are burned out, the windows were blown out. A kindergarten was also destroyed," Sadovyi said.
The missile left a crater outside the kindergarten 9 meters deep and 20 meters in diameter.
Five people have been taken to hospital for further treatment, Sadovyi said, adding that over 100 buildings were damaged and over 500 windows were shattered.
Located near the border with Poland, Lviv is home to thousands of Ukrainians displaced from their homes because of Russia’s full-scale war of conquest.
In Lutsk, three people were killed and at least three more injured in a Russian missile strike on the northwestern city located just 100 km from NATO ally Poland.
In Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, at least one civilian was killed. Information is still being clarified.
In Dnipro, a popular sports complex that housed national championships and hundreds of children daily was destroyed. Two people were injured in the strikes and an 800 sq. m fire broke out.
In Smila, Cherkasy Oblast, a medical facility and a private enterprise were hit, with the attack leaving part of the city without water.
In Zaporizhzhya, a rocket destroyed the stadium of a local school.
