At least six people were killed Monday as Russian rockets rained down on Lviv, the western Ukrainian city that has seen a huge influx of refugees from the war-ravaged east.
after the loss of their Black Sea Fleet flagship last weekLviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy said six people were killed and 11 injured—including a child—in five missile attacks on the city. One rocket hit a tire -repair center, destroying 40 cars and forcing the evacuation of a nearby hotel that has been housing refugees.
But scores of people were killed last week in a Russian missile attack on a railway station packed with fleeing women and children in Kramatorsk and in Monday morning’s attack the Russians targeted the Lviv railway station, where passengers were evacuated and ushered into bomb shelters. After giving up on their costly push toward Kyiv, the Russians have rewritten their war aims to focus on gaining territory in the south and east under a unified command led by Major-General Aleksandr Dvornikov, the notorious “butcher of Syria.”
