Around 35 people were killed when waves of Russian missiles pounded a military training base close to Ukraine’s border with Poland. The attack followed Russian threats to target foreign weapons shipments that are helping Ukrainian fighters defend their country against the Kremlin-led invasion.
More than 30 Russian cruise missiles targeted the sprawling training facility in Yavoriv, less than 15 miles from the closest border point with Poland, according to the governor of Ukraine’s western Lviv region. Poland, a member of Nato, is a key location for routeing Western military aid to Ukraine.
Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov warned other nations that sending equipment to bolster Ukraine’s military is “an action that makes those convoys legitimate targets”.
