Today, February 11, the Ukrainian Air Force warned about the danger of missile strikes on the territory of Lviv. Due to the rise of the Russian MiG-31K fighter jet, which is a potential carrier of hyper-sonic "Kinzhal" missiles, a missile alarm has been declared across Ukraine.
Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi has already confirmed that the city’s air defense system is operational, and residents are being warned to remain in shelters. Explosions have been heard in various districts of the city, indicating active enemy actions.
Official statements and comments
In particular, the head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, Maksym Kozytskyi, urged residents to follow safety measures and stay updated with reports. “Lviv, to the shelters!” - such a message was received from the Ukrainian Air Force shortly before the sounds of explosions were heard.
The situation has significantly worsened after massive attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities, which occurred the day before in the western regions. As a result of these missile strikes, the Burshtyn and Dobrotvir thermal power plants were seriously damaged, and residents are warned about possible power outages.
Context and background
This attack is part of a larger strategy that includes targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure and vital systems of the Ukrainian population. Ukrainian authorities and international organizations consider these actions to be war crimes, and the shelling of infrastructure facilities has become part of suspected genocidal intentions.
According to Ukrainian authorities, Russia is increasingly using various types of weapons in the war, including drones, missiles, and air strikes, targeting civilians, schools, and other critical facilities.
As the situation evolves, the Ukrainian Air Force continues to monitor the aggressor's activity in the sky and is preparing for rapid response.
