Russia’s missile attack that took the lives of at least six civilians in the city of Lviv also violated the World Heritage Convention, said the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), according to CNN.
On 6 July, a Russian Kalibr missile hit a historic building located in the buffer zone of Lviv’s “Ensemble of the Historic Centre,” which is a World Heritage Site, the organization said.
