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.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
