Western Ukraine was heavily bombarded with Russian cruise missiles on Tuesday night, authorities said.
At least three people were killed in the city of Lutsk, according to the head of the administration of the Volyn region, Yuriy Pohulyaiko. Several injured people have been taken to hospitals.
The city of Lviv (also: Lemberg) and the surrounding area were also hit, Mayor Andrij Sadowyj announced. In Lviv, the attic of an apartment building caught fire and the outer area of a kindergarten was hit. The affected areas of western Ukraine border Poland and thus NATO and the EU.
Air raid alarms all over the country
During the night there was an air raid alarm all over Ukraine. Russian fighter-bombers have fired 24 cruise missiles of various types over the Caspian Sea, the Ukrainian air force said in the morning. In addition, a Russian frigate fired four Kalibr cruise missiles into the Black Sea. The air defense intercepted 16 of these missiles.
Numerous rocket hits
Missile hits were also reported from the major cities of Dnipro and Zaporizhia, which are closer to the front lines. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, these were converted Russian anti-aircraft missiles from the S-300 and S-400 systems. The military information is usually not independently verifiable.
