A Russian missile attack on a large Ukrainian military facility near the border with NATO member Poland on Sunday killed at least 35 people and wounded many, Ukrainian officials said..
A patient is assisted by medical staff as he arrives at Novoiavorivsk District Hospital on March 13, 2022 in Novoiavorivsk, Ukraine. Early this morning, a series of Russian missiles struck the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security at the nearby Yavoriv military complex, killing at least nine and wounding dozens, according to Ukrainian officials. The site is west of Lviv and mere miles from Ukraine's border with Poland, a NATO member.
Reuters was unable immediately to verify the report. The Kremlin did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the missile strike so close to the border with Nato. Ukraine held most of its drills with Nato countries there before the invasion. The last major exercises were in September. In eastern Ukraine, Russian troops are trying to surround Ukrainian forces as they advance from Kharkiv in the north and Mariupol in the south, the UK Defence Ministry said on Sunday.
Ukraine accused Russian forces on Saturday of killing seven civilians, including one child, in an attack on women and children trying to flee fighting near Kyiv.Moscow denies targeting civilians. It blames Ukraine for failed attempts to evacuate civilians from encircled cities, an accusation Ukraine and its Western allies strongly reject.“We still need to hold on. We still have to fight,” Zelenskyy said in a video address late on Saturday, his second of the day.
