- Story Text: Firefighters battled to put out a blaze in Ukraine's western city of Lviv on Tuesday night (May 3) after explosions hit power stations.
Lviv mayor Adriy Sadoviv said air strikes had cut off electricity in some districts and injured two people.
Reuters could not immediately verify reports of battlefield developments.
The explosions happened nearly 10 weeks into a war that has killed thousands, devastated cities and driven five million Ukrainians to flee abroad.
The western city of Lviv has been spared most of the fighting since Russia launched its invasion.
Located near the Polish border, Lviv is hundreds of miles from Russia's advance and it has been one of the main destinations for Ukrainians forced to flee battle zones.
