Explosions in Lviv kill a policewoman and injure 15 in a suspected terror attack, officials confirm.
Explosions in the western Ukrainian city of LKviv killed a policewoman and wounded at least 15 people overnight in what local authorities on Sunday (February 22, 2026) called an "act of terror".
The blasts occurred shortly after police responded to a report of a break-in at a shop in the city centre around 12:30 a.m. (2230 GMT Saturday), according to the Lviv regional prosecutor's office.
A first explosion struck as the initial patrol arrived, followed by a second blast moments later when another crew reached the scene.
Officials said a 23-year-old woman police officer was killed, while a patrol car and a civilian vehicle were damaged.
"This is definitely an act of terror," Lviv mayor Andriy Sadovy said in a Facebook post. "We have 15 people currently receiving medical aid, some of them are in very serious condition.
"One policewoman died. My condolences to the family and close ones," he added.

However, with “emergency” military sales, piling monetary costs and a strained supply chain, is the U.S. becoming too constrained in its effort to keep the war going — both militarily and monetarily?
