Initially, local authorities reported that nine people had died after missiles hit the International Peacekeeping and Security Center in the city of Yavoriv, about 10 km from the Polish border and 60 km from the center of Lviv.
The military base covers an area of approximately 390 square kilometers (151 square miles) and can accommodate up to 1.790 people, although it is unknown how many people were on site.
