On the night of September 4, Russian troops attacked Lviv with drones and missiles. Among the victims are children. The Russians hit the historic part of Lviv. Two districts came under attack — Frankivskyi and Zaliznychnyi.
The death toll from the enemy attack on Lviv rose to seven. As a result of shelling in their own home, a family died: a woman and three daughters. Only father Yaroslav remained alive from the family. His wife Eugenia and their three daughters — Yarina, Darina and Emilia — died in their own home.

“In the center of Europe, Russia is exterminating Ukrainians with whole families. The Russians are killing our children, our future. I don't know what words to support Yaroslav's father. Today we are all with you. Sincere condolences and a bright memory,” he wrote mayorAndrey Sadovyi.


ChairwomanOVA Maxim Kozytskyi said that in three medical institutions in Lviv there are 47 people who were injured due to the night attack of the enemy.
“Among the patients there are seven children, all with injuries of moderate severity. Among adults — at least 7 are in serious condition. Doctors are fighting for their lives. Patient data is constantly updated,” he added. At the moment, as the head of the OVA noted, search and rescue work at the hit sites in Lviv continues. “There may still be people under the rubble,” Kozitsky stated.


Due to the night attack in Lviv, at least seven architectural monuments of local importance were damaged. “All the houses are located in the historic area and the UNESCO buffer zone. They are in the state register of immovable monuments of Ukraine,” Kozytsky noted.



The wreckage of the missiles was also found on the territory of the international airport “Lviv”. Also in Lviv, two schools, medical institutions and more than 50 houses were damaged.
