A long expected attack comes to Lviv

In Lviv, the air raid sirens went off at around 03:30 local time. They have been sounding regularly in this city in the west of the country that, so far, had been spared of any attack, 18 days into this war, Qazet.az reports.

Officials have now confirmed that eight Russian missiles hit the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security at the Yavoriv military facility near the border with Poland, a Nato member.

Lviv, with a population of about 700,000, has become a hub for people fleeing the conflict as well as for much needed aid and weapons coming in.

On Saturday, the streets were bustling with people, with live music in one of the main squares and outdoor markets.
