Russia Strikes Ukraine Army Base Near Poland As It Widens Attacks

Russian troops have launched multiple air raids on a large Ukrainian military facility outside the western city of Lviv near the Polish border, Ukrainian officials said, in what appeared to be the westernmost attack since Moscow launched an invasion on February 24.

Russia “launched an air strike on the International Centre for Peacekeeping and Security”, the head of the Lviv regional administration, Maxim Kozitsky, said on Sunday on his verified Facebook page, adding that eight missiles were fired.

The governor of Lviv, however, said at least nine people were killed and 57 others wounded in the air raid on the facility.

Earlier a Russian tank blew up a Ukrainian woman who was leaving her home in Kyiv to get medicine for her ailing mother. The woman, Valeriia Maksetska, worked for a USAID partner organisation and was allegedly killed in a town near Kyiv along with her mother and driver.
