35 killed, dozens injured in Russia´s attack on military base

Russia expanded its offensive to western Ukraine on Sunday, firing missiles near the city of Lviv and hitting a large military base close to the Polish border, reported Cable News Network (CNN).

At least 35 people were killed, and dozens injured in the attack, international media reported.

The attack came the day after the Kremlin threatened to attack Western weapons shipments to Ukraine, said CNN.

As the invasion runs into its third week, the northwest city of Lviv has largely been spared from Russia's relentless bombardment.

The picturesque city has instead become ground zero for displaced Ukrainians. Hundreds of thousands of them have flooded into the city in search of relative safety, with many using it as a stopping point before making their way to the Polish border about 43 miles (70 kilometers) away, the report added.
