Russian forces unleashed a barrage of missiles on regions across Ukraine in the early hours of Tuesday morning, killing civilians and damaging civilian infrastructure. The barrage came just hours before top Russian military officials and their counterparts from Asia, the Middle East and Africa gathered near Moscow for a security conference. The Ukrainian Air Force said of the 28 cruise missiles at the country, sixteen were intercepted.
In the western region of Lviv, on the border with Poland, residential buildings and other civilian structures were damaged by missile debris. Ten people were wounded in two villages outside Lviv. In the nearby region of Volyn, three people were killed by a Russian missile strike and three others were injured, according to Oleksii Kuleba, deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office. In the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, two people were injured in the region’s capital.
