Explosion sounds in Lviv, a major city in western Ukraine

In Lviv, a major city in western Ukraine, multiple explosions were heard, "Dawn, Dawn," around 4:30 pm on the 26th and around 11:30 pm on the 26th of Japan time.



Local officials have announced that there have been three major explosions near Lviv and are calling on residents to act calmly and continue to evacuate.



The NHK interview team in Lviv was outside the interview base at that time, but because they heard an air defense siren, they moved to the base to evacuate.



At that time, in the captured image, you can see black smoke rising from the north direction of Lviv.
