At least 35 killed, dozens injured in Russian attack on military training base in western Ukraine

Russia carried out an airstrike on the International Centre for Peacekeeping and Security outside Ukraine's western city of Lviv, killing at least 35 people and injuring more than 130 others.

“Unfortunately, we lost more heroes: 35 people died as a result of the shelling of the peacekeeping and security center. Another 134 with varying degrees of damage are in hospital,” Lviv regional governor, Maksym Kozytskyi, said on Facebook.

The military base is located in Yavoriv, not far from the Polish border and some 40 kilometers northwest of Lviv. (ILKHA)
