At least seven people, including a baby and two other children, were killed in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv following overnight Russian missile strikes, local authorities have reported. This devastating attack is part of an ongoing series of Russian bombardments across Ukraine, which has seen cities far from the frontlines targeted.

The strikes in Lviv came just one day after more than 50 people were killed and hundreds injured in Poltava, further east, highlighting the escalating toll of Russia’s offensive. Residential buildings were hit in Lviv, leaving local residents in shock and emergency services struggling to manage the destruction. Images from the aftermath show the debris near heavily damaged buildings as residents and rescue workers attempt to recover.

Poland has activated its air defenses in response to the increasing threat from missile strikes near its borders. The escalating conflict has led to growing concerns about regional security as the war drags on.

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s foreign minister has resigned, signaling potential political shifts within the country as it grapples with the ongoing Russian invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has continued to call for more support from Western allies, especially long-range weaponry to counter Russian strikes.

As the conflict deepens, the civilian toll continues to rise, with families in cities like Lviv left devastated by the ongoing assault.
