The death toll from the Russian missile attack on Lviv has risen to seven, with three children among the victims, according to updated information from Maksym Kozytskyi, the head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration.

“We have lost seven people due to the occupiers this night. Among them are three children. It’s a horrific tragedy,” Kozytskyi stated.

The victims include two girls aged 9 and 14, and a 50-year-old woman who worked as a nurse-midwife.

At least 40 more people have been injured in the attack.

In the early hours of September 4, Russian forces targeted Lviv with Shahed drones and a series of missiles, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. The attack struck residential buildings near Lviv’s main railway station, with blast waves causing significant damage to dozens of nearby houses, educational institutions, and medical facilities.
