The western Ukrainian city of Lviv has been a bastion of relative normalcy since the Russian invasion began last month. Friday's strike, just over 4 miles from the city center, rattled residents.
Smoke billows over a street near the airport in Lviv after Russian airstrikes hit a jet repair facility.
"Several missiles hit the aircraft repair facility. Its buildings were destroyed by the strikes. Active work at the plant had been stopped in time, so as of yet, there are no casualties," said Mayor Andriy Sadovyi. "The missiles, which were fired from the Black Sea area, were partially shot down. But four of them hit the aircraft repair plant," said Maksym Kozytskyy, the head of Lviv's military administration.
With so much of the fighting concentrated in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine, Lviv had become a bastion of relative normalcy in a country stricken by war and something of a central station for humanitarian aid and refugees."We all heard the explosions, and once we did, we all ran into the bomb shelter," said Yevhen Halakhov, a resident of a building near the airport, who added that he was awoken by screams from family members in another room.
