Lviv suffered a massive drone attack on the night of July 12, with fires and destruction reported, according to the city mayor, Andrii Sadovyi, and the head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, Maksym Kozytskyi.
This morning, on July 12, a Russian kamikaze drone struck a two-story residential building on Mytropolyta Andriia Street in Lviv.
As a result of the attack, the lower entrance of the building sustained significant damage, with broken windows, destroyed walls, and debris from structural elements.
There was a gas and water leak in the building, but fortunately, a fire was avoided.
Currently, at least 20 rescuers, gas service crews, and emergency water utility repair teams are working at the site. All residents of the building have been evacuated to a safe location, with no casualties or injuries reported.
According to representatives of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, the destruction of the entrance complicates access for the rescuers, but specialists have already begun stabilizing the structure and repairing the gas and water supply.
In the Zaliznychnyi district, the roof of a non-residential building caught fire over an area of 200 square meters as a result of the attack.
