Putin’s Forces Strike Close To Nato Border

Explosions have been heard on the outskirts of the western Ukrainian city of Lviv after Russian forces launched an attack on a military base just 12 miles from the Polish border.

According to Ukrainian sources, Vladimir Putin’s forces had launched a missile strike on the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security just before 6 am this morning. The base (pictured), which houses foreign training instructors, was hit by 30 cruise missiles, killing nine people and injuring 57.

Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov renewed calls for a ‘no-fly zone’ over the country following the attack, which he said put foreign instructors working at the base at risk. ‘Foreign instructors work here.

Information about the victims is being clarified. This is a new terrorist attack on peace and security near the EU-NATO border. Action must be taken to stop this. Close the sky!’ This morning there were reports on social media that explosions could be seen and heard from the outskirts of Lviv nearly 30 miles away.

The city, which is home to more than 700,000 people, has been a haven for refugees (inset) in recent weeks, with hundreds of thousands going through as they traveled west toward Poland and other EU countries.
