Three warehouses were destroyed in the city. Two contained windows and household chemicals, and one was used by Caritas-Spes, a charity mission, to store humanitarian aid.
The fire covered a total area of about 10,000 square metres.
This is one of the most extensive fires and the damage will be "in the hundreds of millions", the mayor of Lviv said.

Details: Earlier, Kozytskyi had provided preliminary information that 18 Shahed drones flew towards Lviv Oblast. 15 of them were shot down, but there were 3 hits to industrial warehouses in Lviv.
