Sadovy called on people to stay in the bomb shelters with a post on social media.

According to Sky News, at least four separate explosions were heard in the city center shortly before 8.30 pm local time, Nova TV reported. 

According to a statement from the Ukrainian Railways, trains stopped at the entrance to Lviv, and the Russian military fired on railway substations, which led to delays.

"Due to enemy shelling of railway substations, a number of trains will be delayed," the statement said, urging people not to leave their shelters during an air raid alert.
