Lviv sees first wartime deaths amid strikes, Ukrainian officials say

LVIV, Ukraine — After the first explosions sounded early Monday, 32-year-old Kostiantyn Pospelov prepared to run.

He only had time to pull on his jacket and one sock before another blast blew out the windows and shook the hotel where he’s staying in the western city of Lviv. He said he hopped through an obstacle course of broken glass and jagged metal, making his way to the hotel basement along with other displaced families who had escaped Russian attacks elsewhere only to find themselves again running for their lives in a city that had been seen as a sanctuary.
