It comes as Russia stages a huge military response to the bombing of the Kerch Bridge on Saturday, when a truck bomb exploded taking with it a huge chunk of the 12-mile road and rail link between Russia and its annexed territory, Crimea
A Russian missile strike hit critical infrastructure in a city 40 miles from NATO country Poland today.
Witnesses reported three explosions in the city shortly after noon local time (0900 GMT)
The blasts left 30 per cent of the town temporarily without electricity, according to the city's mayor Andriy Sadovyi who announced the news on Telegram.
He added that the water supply had also been disrupted in two of the city's districts.
The head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, Maksym Kozytsky, noted on Telegram that an attack was carried out on a power facility in the Lviv region.
“Lviv and the Lviv region: possible power outages. Once the alarm is over, we will engage all services to quickly resume network operation. Stay in shelters, the threat is still ongoing," Kozytsky said.
Similar strikes had hit the same electricity supply centre on Monday.
City authorities said late on Monday that power had been largely restored in the region, but Ukrainian Deputy Interior Minister Yevheniy Yenin said some settlements in the region were still without electricity on Tuesday morning.

I thought Russia was out of missiles and other weapons? Must have quite a production line going over there to resupply.
As a U.S. senator, Barack Obama won $48 million in federal funding to help Ukraine destroy thousands of tons of guns and ammunition – weapons which are now unavailable to the Ukrainian army as it faces down Russian President Vladimir Putin during his invasion of Crimea. In August 2005, just seven months after his swearing-in, Obama traveled to Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine with then-Indiana Republican Senator Dick Lugar, touring a conventional weapons site. The two met in Kiev with President Victor Yushchenko, making the case that an existing Cooperative Threat Reduction Program covering the destruction of nuclear weapons should be expanded to include artillery, small arms, anti-aircraft weapons, and conventional ammunition of all kinds. After a stopover in London, the senators returned to Washington and declared that the U.S. should devote funds to speed up the destruction of more than 400,000 small arms, 1,000 anti-aircraft missiles, and more than 15,000 tons of ammunition.
“Honduras, Venezuela, and Cartels would love some as well.”
I wasn’t aware that they hated Russia that much.
Russia has said it want's a neutral, disarmed Ukraine, not aligned with the EU and not a part of NATO on her border.
At one time the USA understood "sphere's of influence". We, too, have used our military many times to protect what we perceive as our sphere of influence.
The morons in the Biden administration think that Russia is some little country that they can push around. They are arrogant children. Sadly, teaching them a lesson (via the ridiculous cartoon leader Zelensky) is going to be painful for all of Ukraine. That's how wars go. There is an element of "punishment" that has now entered the scene, and is part of what is happening.
‘What is happening today is retribution for the children, women and old men murdered and maimed in cold blood. The countries who today pose as pacifists and judge at the same time, and condemn the missile strikes on military, communications and energy-supply targets of the Ukraine, for eight long years could not have given a damn about the fates of those who lived in the Donbass’.
Ramzan Kadyrov, Head of the Chechan Republic
The idiot Biden regime imposed sanctions that completely backfired. Russia has lots of coal, oil, gas, wheat and chemicals to export. Forcing the countries of Europe that have depended on those commodities didn't hurt Russia much, they are selling them to India, China, Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, and the rest of the world.
Again: arrogance leads to failure.
The war is easy to end. It will require Biden again admitting failure, just as he did in Afghanistan. Zelensky will probably need to be shown the door. No big loss, he was a TV commedian two years ago, he can get a new show in London or New York.
The "negotiated settlment" will acknolwedge new borders, with perhaps a nice DMZ in the betweeen the two sides. Russia's conditions will be met (just as America's were in Cuba in 1962)
Of course not, but they’d sure find use tobRussian missiles.
I’m curious, what do you believe has changed?
Russia already has NATO on its borders..Norway and Turkey
First time I’ve ever been called a warmonger!
I heard that Ukraine already had received some long range missiles.
Russia is also making the case for NATO to enforce the no fly zone or provide the F15s and F16s that Ukraine has been asking for.
aka "let's start World War III!!"
Why are the Poles upset? They blew up Nordstream in assistance with the US Navy. They are a conduit for all the weapons into the war zone. They have numerous volunteers inside Ukraine. They are pushing for war expansion. They want nukes. Did they think somehow maybe a missile may not fall 40 miles away from them? The popular Polak jokes didn’t just fall out of the sky. There is a reason, it’s their mentality.
That’ll be one of the last things they do if they do it. America should not be playing the role of the Nazis in the reenactment of eastern front World War II battles.

British intelligence, as always, is on top.
Rocket strikes on Ukraine on Monday showed that Russia still has a significant stockpile of weapons, said the head of Britain’s electronic intelligence service, Jeremy Fleming.
“The Russian military machine can launch weapons, it has deep reserves and experience,” he added.
Serious analytics.
🇷🇺 According to estimates by US think tanks, Russia has at least 1,830 conventional OTRs and their means of delivery, which makes it possible to strike at Ukraine’s critical infrastructure in batches of 100 missiles daily for six months, even without taking into account replenishment from existing production facilities.
No, it was sung by British special forces using ground base tarpon missiles provided by England. The US Navy P8 patrol planes over the black sea you provided targeting information.
I think Ukraine should get some patriot missles....
But Zeepers who believe the Daily Mail, insisted Russia-was running out or missiles
Instigated by Russia
Sober analysis here from an unabashedly pro-Ukrainian youtuber:

He talks real sloooow so if you put the playback at 1.5 or 1.75 and it is much easier to listen to.
This has to be “fake news”. It was only a week ago when every western media outlet was reporting the war was practically over.
Russia had been decimated. Entire tank battalions were withdrawing from their positions, Russian troops were even showing up in Alaska asking for asylum, Russian citizens were protesting in the streets, Vlad had moved into an underground bunker because he was an assassination target.
If this report it accurate, how could all those media outlets be so wrong?
I would first try sending the Ukies just enough long range weapons and ammo to finish off the Kerch Bridge and Pooty’s Black Sea fleet, with their delivery contingent on the Ukies not getting any more if they hit targets NATO does not approve. (Actually, I believe Ukraine has already agreed to such a condition.) Also send 1000 mobile decoy kits to Poland & Romania, where refugees can assemble them for transport to Ukraine. (Ideally these would have Tesla self-driving capacity, but, I don’t know if that’s practical.) Also make dummy ammo shipments (might be easier!) The real deal arrives a bit after the initial (100?) decoys are in Ukraine.
Let Pooty flail away.
