Early Sunday, March 13, 2022, a series of Russian missiles struck the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security at the nearby Yavoriv military complex, killing at least 35 and wounding scores, according to Ukrainian officials.
The center is located west of Lviv and mere miles from Ukraine's border with Poland, a NATO member.
