Death toll from Russian missile strike on apartment building in Lviv rises to 10
A tenth victim has been recovered from the rubble of a building hit by a Russian missile in Lviv on July 6, Mayor Andriy Sadovyi reported on Telegram on July 7.
"Now the rescuers are freeing (the body of) the victim, a woman, from the rubble," he said.
“This will complete the rescue and search operation.”
In the early hours of July 6, an air raid alert was declared in all regions of Ukraine, including Kyiv. In Lviv, Russian missiles hit a residential building.
Numerous civilian infrastructure facilities were also damaged.
Following the nighttime attack, the Ukrainian Air Force reported that it had destroyed seven out of 10 Kalibr cruise missiles launched by Russia in the attack.
The enemy struck at about 1 a.m. from the Black Sea, launching Kalibr cruise missiles from naval vessels and submarines.
The missiles first headed north, using the course of the Dnipro River for navigation. However, they then suddenly changed course towards western Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted angrily to the missile strike on Lviv on July 6, vowing to hit back at the enemy.
“Lviv. The consequences of the night attack by Russian terrorists. Unfortunately, there are wounded and dead. My condolences to the relatives!” Zelenskyy said in a post on social media.
“There will definitely be a response to the enemy. A tangible one.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
