Details: The Head of Lviv Oblast Military Administration thanked the Ukrainian defenders from anti-aircraft defence because the scale of the disaster could have been much greater, and the rescue workers from the State Emergency Service who worked on extinguishing the fire.

Kozytskyi added that during their air-raid alert, he had received a number of complaints from residents of the oblast about the shelters.

He also called on all shelter owners and operators to ensure they are open and in good condition during an emergency.
