Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed a response after a Russian missile attack killed at least four people in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv on Thursday.
Those killed in the attack were between the ages of 21 and 95, officials said. It was the largest Russian strike on Lviv since Russian President Vladimir Putin began his invasion of Ukraine early last year.
“There will definitely be a response to the enemy. A strong one,” Zelenskyy wrote in a statement.
While the official death toll from Ukraine’s interior ministry currently sits at four, that number may rise as responders continue searching through debris. The strike also injured 34 people, though officials did not offer details about the severity of the wounds.

The attack came as Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian officials implored the U.S. and NATO countries to continue delivering more weapons to their forces.
Russian forces have maintained a steady barrage of missiles and drone attacks on Ukraine’s major cities. Thanks to Western-provided air defense systems, the vast majority of those missiles have been shot down before reaching their targets.

The ministry went on to say the West is “training drone operators and providing the necessary intelligence to commit such crimes.”
