Quote from Kozytskyi: "Unfortunately, there are three injured people, but all of them only slightly. Two Kalibr cruise missiles were fired: one of them hit a small electrical substation in one of the residential areas. The substation is still on fire and this is currently being extinguished.

Another missile hit the ground near a residential area – windows in 16 high-rise buildings were smashed, and office premises and an employment centre located nearby were also damaged."

Details: In particular, a man and a woman who live in houses on Naukova Street were injured. They had cut wounds and received medical assistance on the spot. Another man was taken to hospital with a bruise to his brow.

Cars parked next to the residential buildings were also damaged.

Naukova Street was temporarily closed to traffic.

Sadovyi later added that early reports indicated that over 10 rockets were flying toward Lviv Oblast.

Quote from Sadovyi: "Air defence systems responded well to this attack, but we still have one hit on an infrastructure facility. The explosion shattered windows in residential buildings on Naukova Street, and a school was also affected. Emergency services are working at the scene. We are assessing the aftermath of the attack."

Details: He added that buses will temporarily run along Volodymyra Velykoho Street. Trams are running without changes.
