Russian Forces Strike Lviv Region
In the Lviv region, a critical infrastructure facility was damaged as a result of a Russian strike, reported the head of the regional military administration (OVA) Maksym Kozytskyi. According to Ukrainian media, the target of the Russian army could have been the Stryi gas field, as well as an underground gas storage facility.
A few hours before the attack on the Lviv region, monitoring channels reported "atypical activity" in the area of the Russian training ground "Kapustin Yar," from where a ballistic hypersonic missile "Oreshnik" was launched toward Dnipro in November 2024.
The Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that the missile launched at Lviv was traveling at a speed of 13,000 kilometers per hour. There is currently no official confirmation of the use of the "Oreshnik." The type of missile will be determined after examining all its components, the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.
