Russian missile attacks in the Volyn region of northwest Ukraine have reportedly killed three persons, according to local authorities.
According to the regional manager Yuriy Poguliaiko, a plant in Lutsk was attacked, inflicting several injuries.
Buildings in the western part of Lviv were also damaged by airstrikes, although no one was killed, according to the mayor of the city.
The air defence troops of Ukraine reported that they had shot down 16 of at least 28 Russian missiles launched overnight.
In Lviv and Volyn, air raid sirens sounded for two hours.
The strikes affected a plant run by a Swedish corporation in Lutsk, the capital of the Volyn area.
Carl Bjernstam, spokesman at SKF, said, “We are very sad to confirm that three of our colleagues have been killed.”
Homes looked to have been hit in the city, and according to local authorities, missile interceptor debris caused the most of the damage.
According to the mayor of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, more than 100 buildings were destroyed as a result of the attacks over night.
According to Mr. Sadovyi, a rocket struck a playground in the city and produced a crater that was 20 metres (65 feet 5 inches) wide and 9 metres (29 feet 5) deep.
Four people were hurt, he continued, although none of their injuries were life-threatening.
Local neighbour Dmytro Ivaschyshyn described the incident to Reuters, saying: “The kids hid in the restroom… They were shaking and inconsolable.
Oleksiy Kuleba, the deputy head of the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, reported that two farm buildings in the western city of Ivano-Frankivsk were also destroyed by rocket debris.
A business building was struck overnight in the south-eastern part of Dnipropetrovsk, which is closer to the front line.
According to a statement from the city council, two individuals were killed and another was hurt in Kramatorsk in the eastern Donetsk region.
He continued by saying that attacks also attacked communities in the Zaporizhzhia and Cherkasy districts, hitting a school, a housing complex, and a hospital.
In February 2022, Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
