Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said 13 people were hospitalized with injuries and the number of casualties is rising following a Russian drone attack on the city Tuesday. The daylight attack hit an apartment block in the center of the western city, near the Polish border. The Lviv attack set fire to the city’s 17th-century St. Andrew’s Church, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said. On the roughly 1,250-kilometer (750-mile) front line snaking along eastern and southern parts of Ukraine, the short-handed defenders have been bracing for a new offensive by Russia’s bigger army as the weather improves.
