Its just damn sad. People were out enjoying themselves, as everybody else does on a Saturday. Now theyre scrambling for the shelters.
Could be a refinery that was hit, per the smoke.
Just how naive does Putin think the world is that it believes hell be satisfied with only the Donbas and the eastern border?

Lviv has been hit by multiple missile strikes, Daniel Boffey writes from the western Ukrainian city. Smoke is bellowing across the citys horizon. It appears that there were three missiles, with one landing close to the citys communications tower. A spokesman for the military administration of Lviv region said:
It appears that one of the targets may have been an oil refinery around a mile east of Lvivs city centre. Igor Zinkevych, an official from Lvivs city council, said:
