Lviv, located more than 1,000 km from the front, has so far been relatively spared from the war. However, the region’s energy infrastructure has been damaged several times and the city has been the target of deadly drone and missile strikes several times.
Meanwhile, Russian attacks injured at least five people overnight in Kryvyi Rig, in central Ukraine, regional governor Sergii Lysak said on Telegram.
