In several districts of Lviv, electricity was partially cut off due to a massive enemy strike. Public transportation in the city has also been suspended, according to the Telegram channel of Lviv Mayor Andrii Sadovyi.

Fires and air pollution
After the enemy attack, several large fires continue in Lviv, with columns of black smoke rising over the city.
