A Russian drone struck a children’s playground near the monument to Stepan Bandera in central Lviv in a nighttime attack, Lviv Mayor Andrii Sadovyi reported on Jan. 15.
“A symbolic place — the one the aggressor fears the most,” Sadovyi wrote on Telegram.
A tractor driver and municipal workers were nearby clearing snow at the time of the strike, but no casualties have been reported so far.
The mayor added the blast wave shattered windows in a nearby university building of Lviv Polytechnic as well as in surrounding residential houses. Two streets were temporarily closed. Several trolleybuses were suspended.
Explosions were heard in Lviv early on Jan. 15 amid warnings of Shahed drone threats. Later, Lviv Oblast Military Administration head Maksym Kozytskyi confirmed that a UAV had struck central Lviv, on Stepan Bandera Street.
