Today, February 11, 2026, Lviv was the target of an attack by Russian air-launched ballistic missiles "Kinzhal". According to the city's mayor Andriy Sadovyi, at 14:40 two enemy missiles were launched towards Lviv. The air defense forces successfully neutralized the threat, and no destruction or casualties have been reported.
Attack and Air Defense Actions
Moments after the launch, the mayor of Lviv urged residents to find shelter. He also reported that the air defense system in the city worked effectively to neutralize all threats. "This is a titanic effort. Thank you to our defenders for their protection!" Sadovyi remarked.
Next Steps and Consequences
Following the incident, law enforcement authorities temporarily restricted traffic in the area where debris fell. Drivers are advised to avoid the shelling zone; however, public transport continues to operate normally. The city council reported that an inspection of the area by city infrastructure services is underway.
Context of the Event
This shelling is part of a large-scale activity by Russian military forces, which continue to attack Ukraine's infrastructure targets. It is worth noting that in January 2026, during worsening weather conditions, Russia intensified its missile attacks on energy infrastructure, leading to prolonged power outages across Ukraine.
Position of the Air Forces
The Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed that none of the "Kinzhal" missiles reached their targets. Monitoring of the activity of Russian aircraft, including MiG-31K fighters, continues.
Today's incident highlights the importance of the readiness of air defense forces and their ability to protect the population from missile threats.
