Smoke billows from Lviv airport as air raid sirens sound after apparent Russian shelling | Messages

Footage taken in Lviv shows smoke billowing from Ukraine’s second busiest airport after it was reportedly attacked by Russian bombs on Friday morning.

Lviv Danylo Halytskyi International Airport has been hit by airstrikes as Vladimir Putin’s forces turned their attention closer to the Polish border.

The city is just 70 km east of Poland, where millions of refugees have fled to safety.

Videos shared on social media appear to show smoke rising after the attack, while harrowing air raid sirens can also be heard in the background.
