Drones attacked Lviv, in western Ukraine, early Tuesday (September 19), where the mayor reported a warehouse fire and an Agence France-Presse journalist heard explosions.
Several waves of drones were heard from 1:30 a.m. GMT (3:30 a.m. in Paris), as well as explosions and the passage of heavy vehicles in the streets during the curfew in force, according to the journalist from AFP on site.
“Air defenses are operating in our region” and other drones “are flying in our direction,” Lviv Mayor Andriï Sadovyi wrote on Telegram, calling on the population to stay safe from the “threat of a second attack.”
“Explosions are heard. As a result of a strike on Lviv, a fire broke out in an industrial warehouse,” he added later, also on Telegram. “The threat of Shahed (drones) remains present in the Lviv region. Air defenses are working,” the Ukrainian Air Force explained via the same channel. Russia frequently uses Iranian-made Shahed-type drones to attack cities in Ukraine.
