The largest-scale attack by the Russian Federation on the Lviv region has become especially cynical
On the night of October 5, the Lviv region suffered the largest-scale attack by Russia since the start of the full-scale invasion. According to the head of the regional military administration, Maksym Kozytsky, about 163 air targets entered the region’s airspace. Sparrow industrial park on fire in Lviv after Russian attack Maksym Kozytskyi spoke about Russia’s largest attack on the Lviv region since the start of the full-scale invasion.
According to operational data, the area of responsibility of the “West” Air Command included about 163 air targets, including 140 “Shahed” kamikaze drones and 23 cruise missiles. Despite the massiveness of the strike, Ukrainian air defense destroyed a significant part of the threats. Kozytskyi thanked the sky defenders for eliminating “a significant part of the Russian targets,” but the consequences could not be completely avoided.
“To my great regret, five people died as a result of the Russian attack, and eight more were injured,” Kozytskyi said. According to him, almost all of Russia’s strikes were directed at civilian infrastructure. “The targets of the missiles and “shaheeds” are practically the same – residential buildings, hospitals, civilian industrial facilities. Only the objects of the region’s gas transportation infrastructure have been added, which is especially cynical in the conditions of a cold snap and the beginning of the heating season,” Kozytskyi noted.
The head of the regional military administration also commented on the thick smoke that was recorded in Lviv after the Russian attack. As Kozytskyi explained, these were combustion products after the Russian attacks, but “no emissions of harmful substances” were recorded. The regional leadership promises that such attacks “will not go unanswered.”
After the massive Russian attack on Lviv, a fire broke out in the Sparrow industrial park in the city. Chairman Andriy Sadovyi and head of the regional military administration Maksym Kozytskyi called on Lviv residents to close their windows and stay at home.
