According to ХВИЛЯ: The Security Service of Ukraine has established the location of the debris of the Russian ballistic missile that struck Lviv region on January 9, 2026. The attack was carried out from the 'Kapustin Yar' range and was aimed at damaging critical civilian infrastructure near the border with the European Union.

The missile used in this attack belongs to the class of medium-range ballistic missiles of the 'ground-to-ground' type. The attack on Lviv region has been qualified as a war crime under Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. This indicates the seriousness of the situation and the threat posed by such actions to the civilian population.

Threat to the region

It is important to note that the targets selected during this attack focused on infrastructure facilities that ensure the livelihood of the region. This information not only underscores the strategic objectives of the aggressor but also amplifies security concerns in border areas.

The situation created as a result of the attack threatens not only the safety of the population in Lviv region but may also have broader implications for stability in the region, particularly in the context of Ukraine's relations with neighboring countries in the European Union. The response of Ukrainian law enforcement agencies to such provocations is a crucial aspect of ensuring the protection of the civilian population and maintaining order in border territories.
