LVIV, Ukraine (Reuters) -A Russian missile slammed into a residential building in Lviv in western Ukraine on Thursday, killing at least seven people in a city that is far from frontlines and home to thousands displaced by war.

The roof and top floor of the building were destroyed in what Lviv's mayor called the biggest attack of the war on civilian infrastructure in Lviv, a city 70 km (43 miles) from the border with NATO and European Union member state Poland.
