happened about 4 hours ago in the early morning hours, air raid sirens went off at her on 61620 a. m. and the attack took place around 630 or 6 40 in the morning. now just a few hours ago, the sky behind me was billowing with thick black smoke. but this is a place a country under martial law. the response was very fast police court enough, the area very quickly. we weren't permitted to go much farther. this ambulance services made their way into the area as well as water trucks and the fire was put out very quickly with helicopters flying overhead to get a sense of the damage over the site. now, it was one of the most. it was one of the few attacks that have happened this far west, but it is the 1st attack to happen within the city limits. and it certainly has people living here very nervous. we spoke to one witness who says that he lives not too far away from the airport facility. they were warehouse at the airport that was hit. he said that he heard the air raid sirens,

and shortly thereafter he heard consecutive multiple large, loud explosions. and then he saw the smoke thick black smoke rising over the site of this attack. the mayor confirming that no injuries or deaths have taken place. but the warehouse and old soviet era aircraft repair facility has been completely destroyed. what's the significance of the fact that this attack was only leaves the city in the west, which is so far as scape, the worst of the attacks that the rest of the country has suffered? that's exactly right. this witness me spoke to you said that it was so terrifying and such a surprise to happen so close to his home that he was physically shaking for an hour after the attack had taken place. levine has become a kind of unofficial 2nd city. it is where a release aid is being coordinated that is coming into the country from outside. it

is where people that are fleeing violence in the east are able to come and coordinate their departure out of the country or resettle inside the country. if they want to the population of around 1000000 a spiked to almost double that in just a matter of weeks. it's also where lisa laid military aid that's coming in from western allies from poland into ukraine. it comes in to leave is that and then is sent to the front line and where else it is needed. war wounded are also brought to levine to be treated at the hospitals here. people that are fleeing. oh, the violence in the medical care. they are coming to the view, it is the cultural hub of the country and has been for a good long time. so it is a very important city. and most days of life here has carried on is normal. but this is certainly something that will interrupt that normal. see certainly something that is bringing the war far closer to home. for so many people out there is a miss robin reporting live there from levine in western ukraine's and many thanks
