The military base was the third target in western Ukraine in recent days.
Russian rockets targeting a Ukrainian military base near the Polish border overnight has prompted Pentagon press secretary John Kirby to say Russian forces are “broadening their target sets.”
“Look, this is the third, now, military facility or airfield that the Russians had struck in western Ukraine in just the last couple of days,” Kirby told ABC “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz, on Sunday. “So clearly, at least from an airstrike perspective, they’re broadening their target sets.”
The Yavoriv International Center for Peacekeeping and Security, located about 10 miles from Poland and an hour west of Lviv, sustained damage from an overnight airstrike. Lviv Gov. Maksym Kozytskiy said at least 35 were killed and another 134 injured during the attack on the military training base.
