The death toll from a Russian missile attack in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv climbed to four, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko reported Thursday. Another nine were injured.
Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said around 60 apartments and 50 cars in the area of strike were damaged.
Emergency service workers were searching in the debris for more people trapped, The Associated Press said.
Sadovyi addressed residents in a video message, saying the attack was the largest on Lviv's civilian infrastructure since the beginning of the full-scale invasion last year.
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian war refugees have sought safety in Lviv from other areas to the east.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted a reaction on Telegram, saying, “Unfortunately, there are wounded and dead. My condolences to the relatives! There will definitely be a response to the enemy. A tangible one."
Zelenskyy also posted drone footage that shows wrecked buildings from above. Third and fourth floors of the struck building were ruined.

An 18-year-old student fatally stabbed two people at a high school in northern Slovakia on Thursday, authorities said.
One other person was in critical condition, the Slovak rescue service said. The stabbings took place in Spisska Stara Ves, a small town on the border with Poland that has a population of over 2,000 people.
The suspect initially fled, but police said that he was detained shortly after the attack.
Police said that the suspect attacked a teacher and two students. Further details weren't immediately available.
A 51-year-old deputy principal of the high school and a 18-year old student, both female, were killed, The Associated Press quoted the rescue service as saying.
President Peter Pellegrini called the attack “a real tragedy” and offered condolences along with Prime Minister Robert Fico to the relatives.
“No problem in the world can be solved with a knife or any other weapon,” Pellegrini said.
Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok and Education Minister Tomáš Drucker traveled to the town.
Drucker said that he would work to take steps to prevent such attacks in the future and protect students and teachers.
Such attacks are rare in Slovakia. In 2020, a 22-year-old former student attacked a high school in the town of Vrutky, killing the deputy principal and wounding five people, including two students. In 2022, a high school student attacked and injured a female pupil at a high school in Novaky.
