Vadym Denysenko, an adviser to Ukraine's Minister of Internal Affairs, said that there were explosions and smoke in Lviv at about 6:30 local time. He also noted that there was visible fire.


There was warning, however, that future airstrikes might occur. They noted that "the concrete flies very far" when missiles strike.
