Russian bombing kills 3 children in Lviv, Ukraine says

Russian airstrikes early Wednesday morning destroyed schools and residential buildings in Lviv, the nearest major Ukrainian city to the Polish border.
At least seven people, including three children, were killed and 47 others wounded in the airstrikes against Lviv, the head of the local military administration wrote on Telegram. 
According to Ukrainian officials, the city was attacked with Shahed combat drones and Kinzhal ballistic missiles — both used regularly by Russia’s army against Ukraine. 
Three schools were destroyed in the Russian attack, which came just two days after the start of the Ukrainian school year. Also destroyed were a recreation center and several residential buildings, including at least seven architectural monuments of local significance. 
Besides Lviv, another major city, Kryvyi Rih, was struck on Wednesday morning, in a Russian attack which injured five people and destroyed a hotel, 32 residential buildings, four schools and other civilian infrastructure.
“Any partner in the world who helps Ukraine with air defense is a true defender of life,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram after the attacks. “And everyone who convinces partners to give Ukraine more long-range capabilities to respond fairly to terror is working to prevent exactly this kind of Russian terrorist attack on Ukrainian cities. Terror must be stopped.”
