Russia launched a series of deadly missile strikes against Ukraine early in the morning on Aug. 15, particularly targeting the country’s western regions. Overall, air defense forces managed to intercept 16 out of 28 Russian cruise missiles.
The air strike on Dnipro destroyed an important sports complex and a commercial enterprise, said regional governor Serhiy Lysak.
Used by hundreds of children every day for swimming lessons, the sports complex was also used to host national swimming championships.
In Lutsk, Volyn Oblast, three people were killed and at least four others were hospitalized after a strike on an industrial site. A fourth fatality was reported in Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast.
At least 15 people in Lviv were injured in the attack, with the youngest victim reportedly 10 years old. A kindergarten was destroyed, leaving a crater 9 meters deep and 20 meters in diameter.
Twenty houses were destroyed, with at least 500 windows blown out because of the strikes.
