A Russian missile strike hit critical infrastructure in a city 40 miles from NATO Poland.
Witnesses reported 3 explosions in the town shortly after noon local time (0900 GMT).
The explosions temporarily left 30% of the town electrified, according to the mayor of the town, Andriy Sadovyi, who announced the news on Telegram.
He said water was also cut off in two neighborhoods of the city.
The head of the Lviv regional army administration, Maksym Kozytsky, noted on Telegram that an attack was carried out on a power plant in the Lviv region.
“Lviv and the Lviv region: imaginable power cuts. Once the alarm has passed, we will rent all facilities to temporarily resume network operation. Stay in the shelters, the risk is still there,” Kozytsky said.
Similar movements had affected the same electric power center on Monday.
The city government said last Monday that force had been largely restored to the domain, however, Ukraine’s Deputy Interior Minister Yevheniy Jenin said some settlements in the domain were still without force on Tuesday morning.
It comes as Russia mounts a massive military reaction to the bombing of the Kerch Bridge on Saturday, when a truck bomb exploded and took with it a massive bite of the road and the 12-mile rail link between Russia and its annexed territory, Crimea.
The bombing began around 8 a a. m. de yesterday rush hour, when schoolchildren and other civilians dodged raining missiles for shelter.
This morning, Ukraine’s emergency service announced that at least 19 other people were killed and 105 others injured in yesterday’s attack.
A pro-Putin army expert warned that Russia’s bombing of Ukraine could last all winter and take the country back “to the nineteenth century. “
Kyiv and other cities across the country are being violently bombarded in the most intense explosions to hit the Ukrainian capital since the early days of the war.
Britain’s most sensible cyber spy said today that Britain would expect to see signs if Russia began to contemplate deploying its nuclear arsenal in its war against Ukraine amid furloughs and claimed the despot could simply push the button.
After more than seven months of war, Jeremy Fleming, director of the GCHQ spy agency, told BBC Radio that Russia lacks ammunition, friends and troops.
So far, Putin has stayed within the established military doctrine of not having nuclear weapons, Fleming said, but his company is reportedly keeping an eye out for symptoms that could change.
“I hope we’ll see signs if they start taking that path,” he said, without saying what those signs might be.
“But let’s be very transparent about this, if you look at it, it would be a crisis in the sense that a lot of other people have talked about it. “
Fleming also said he was sure Putin was worried about the risks of escalation and that it could be just a sign of why he “hasn’t achieved that other bureaucracy of war. “
In a speech later Tuesday, Fleming will also say that Russians are beginning to perceive the desperate scenario Moscow unearths in the face of conflict.
“They see how badly Putin has misjudged the situation,” he said, excerpts from his speech.
“They are fleeing conscription, knowing they can no longer travel. They know that their access to fashion technologies and outside influences will be severely restricted. And they feel the magnitude of the terrible human burden of their war of choice. “
But pro-Kremlin pundits have responded to Western claims that Moscow is running out of missiles.
Kindergartens in the Russian republic of Maria El would be open 24 hours a day so parents could simply work at night in secret defense factories to supply weapons manufacturers.
Speaking to public broadcaster Channel 1, army expert Yuri Podolyaka said: “We can easily, without any specific tension in the actions, the intensity point [on Monday].
“So far up to a hundred launches have been made, but Kyiv may not be able to cope with them. “
