Lviv in western Ukraine was targeted by Russian bombing today, including two that hit a fuel depot and injured five people, according to local authorities.
"Today, two strategic infrastructures were hit," regional governor Maxim Kozitsky said during a brief news conference, which was interrupted by alarm sirens.
"One of them was a fuel depot inside the city of Lviv, in a residential area, and the second is a military site, a factory also located in a residential area," he explained, noting that these sites were hit by two bombings each.
"Five people at the first site needed medical attention," he added, clarifying that there were no casualties and that a fire that broke out at the second site was being extinguished.
"With today's strikes, the attackers want to say 'good morning' to President Biden, who is in Poland," said, for his part, Lviv mayor Andrzej Sandovi.
The mayor of Lviv earlier posted a video on Telegram, in which he is seen at a school, which is in close proximity, according to him, to the second site that was hit. "The windows have been broken, but everyone is alive and that is the most important thing," he said."
"The Russian missile strikes on the city of Lviv are an attempt to intimidate Ukrainians, diplomats of democratic countries who are in the city," the head of Ukraine's presidential administration, Andriy Iermak, assessed on Telegram.
