A deadly Russian rocket strike has ripped through an apartment building in western Ukraine’s city of Lviv. The blast killed at least three people and injured eight, with one victim in serious condition, local mayor Andriy Sadovyi confirmed. Rescue teams are still racing against time to find more survivors trapped under the rubble.

Critical Infrastructure Targeted Amid Chaos

Regional chief Maksym Kozytskyi said a “critical infrastructure facility” in the city was the target, but offered no further details. The Russian military has remained silent on the attack.

Massive Damage to Property and Vehicles

Footage released by Mayor Sadovyi showed smashed windows across the four-storey building and vehicles wrecked amid scattered debris. He estimated over 50 apartments sustained damage, and roughly 50 cars were destroyed in the explosion.

“Russia’s main goal is the destruction of the Ukrainian people, but we will win,” Kozytskyi declared, highlighting the nation’s defiant spirit amid relentless attacks.
