Russian forces launched a rare missile strike on Monday on Lviv, killing at least seven people in the first known deaths from the war in the western city that until now had been relatively untouched by violence, according to the authorities.

Witnesses reported flames and smoke rising from what appeared to be at least three impact sites on the outskirts of a train complex in the western part of Lviv, which has taken in hundreds of thousands of people fleeing violence in the north and east of Ukraine. At least 11 people were injured in the attacks, including a child, the Lviv mayor, Andriy Sadovyi, said on Telegram.

where military aid might be arriving. These are very expensive missiles and, although its very tragic to see civilians dying, it doesn't look like they are hitting their intended targets.
