Several towns in western Ukraine are increasingly targeted by the Russians. Strikes fell in Antopil (Ukraine), Tuesday, March 15. Not far from Belarus, Rivne (Ukraine) fears the same fate.

Tuesday, March 15 in Antopil (Ukraine), on the twentieth day of the war, the inhabitants are worried about the Russian progression. “The house shook, we saw a flash in the sky. I got ready to go down to the shelter and after that I don’t remember anything”, says a woman. Two Russian missiles targeted the Antopil antenna on Monday March 14, causing the death of 19 people and wounding nine others. The day after the attack, the site is still inaccessible.

Not far from here, Rivne (Ukraine), located just 180 kilometers from the Belarusian border, is under tension. Air alerts sounded seven times in a few hours. The mayor of the city, Oleksandr Tretiak, is worried and tries to protect the population. ‘There is a big basement under this church, it helps to hide people when the rockets and bombs are falling from the sky’, he says. The attack could also come from the ground, the region being border with Belarus.
