Russian airstrikes on Ukraine’s western city of Lviv overnight killed at least seven people, including children, and injured at least 38 people.
Lviv Mayor, Andriy Sadovyi, who revealed this on Wednesday, said that the three of the dead were children.
In some areas in northern Ukraine, the air alert was still sounding at 8:30 a.m. (0530 GMT) as the air force was still detecting Russian combat drones in the air.
A residential building in the city centre near the train station caught fire.
Two schools in the town, about 70 kilometres from the Polish border, were also damaged.
The railway had to provide some trains in the region with diesel locomotives due to power failures.
On Tuesday, more than 50 people were killed and around 270 injured in a Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city of Poltava.
This was one of the deadliest Russian airstrikes in the country in more than two years of war.
Kiev is supplied with weapons by many Western countries, but this support did not seem to be changing the military situation in Ukraine’s favour.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly called on his allies to ramp up deliveries to allow Ukraine to better protect cities against Russian airstrikes.
He has also been demanding longer-range weapons to be able to strike targets deep into Russian territory.
