The 360 square-km facility less than 25km from the Polish border, is one Ukraine's biggest and the largest in the western part of the country
Medical staff assist patients arriving 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.
The 360km² facility less than 25km from the Polish border, is one of Ukraine’s biggest and the largest in the western part of the country. A Ukrainian defence ministry representative told Reuters the ministry was still trying to establish if any foreign instructors were at the centre at the time of the attack.
While Western nations have sought to isolate Putin by imposing harsh sanctions, the US and its allies are concerned to avoid Nato being drawn into the conflict. “There are no Nato personnel in Ukraine,” the Nato official said.The mayor of another city in western Ukraine, Ivano-Frankivsk, said Russian troops also continued to hit its airport, with no initial reports of casualties.
Air raid sirens again woke residents in Kyiv on Sunday morning, hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russian forces they face a fight to the death if they try to occupy the capital.
