Lviv mayor Andriy Sadovyi confirms a Russian air assault on the outskirts of his city, which injured 5 and hit an industrial facility that stores fuel. Large black plumes are emanating from the blast site and CNN footage confirms fires are raging, which Sadovyi says is tied to fuel stores.
Sadovyi, writing on his official Telegram account, adds that residential buildings were unaffected and municipal services are still running.
As a result of the shelling, one of the industrial facilities, where fuel is stored, is on fire. Housing infrastructure was not affected.
