During the war in Ukraine, the Russian army once again attacked the western metropolis of Lemberg on Saturday. A fuel depot and a military installation were hit in rocket attacks, officials said. Five people were injured in two rocket attacks on the outskirts of the city, and a short time later there were reportedly three more explosions. Previously, the invaders had taken the town of Slavutych, near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Mayor Andriy Sadovy said the Russian missile attack had caused “significant damage” to the city’s infrastructure. Residential homes were not affected. The rockets were fired from Sevastopol, on the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula, Sadovyj said. The city, about 80 kilometers from the border with NATO country Poland, has only suffered a few attacks so far. But it is full of refugees from other parts of Ukraine. At the same time, it is an important supply center for Western aid. US President Joe Biden visited the Polish side of the border on Friday.
