Early on September 4, explosions occurred in Lviv during an air raid alert as Russian terrorists attacked the city with Kinzhal missiles. Three people were killed and at least 35 were injured, including 5 children.

The head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration Maksym Kozytskyi and the mayor of the city Andriy Sadovyi reported the consequences of the shelling on Telegram. Lviv residents were urged to take cover.

"Kinzhal missiles are over Lviv. Air defense is working. Do not shoot on camera! Stay in shelters," Sadovyi wrote.

Kozytskyi informed that residential buildings in Lviv were damaged as a result of enemy shelling. All relevant services hurried to the scene.

Sadovyi noted that there were fires in residential buildings near the main station.

"Two schools will not start classes today: students of Arnika and 17 to remain at home. There are many broken windows in the area of Konovalets, Mikhnovski brothers and Melnyk streets," said the mayor.

Local media published horrific footage from the attack site. They show large-scale damage to the high-rise building, a massive fire, and the sky red.

"We already know about 6 victims of the attack on Lviv. Among them is a 10-year-old boy. Doctors are providing the necessary assistance," Sadovyi later wrote.

Local media report that a new residential complex in the city is on fire, having been commissioned only in March 2023. The house is already inhabited.

Later, Sadovyi said that the number of victims of the enemy shelling had increased to 17.

"Two children aged 10 and 15, and 15 adults were taken to the city's hospitals. Five patients are in serious condition," the mayor said.
