This was reported on Facebook by Lviv Mayor Andrii Sadovyi, according to Ukrinform.

“Due to intense rainfall, flooding continues in Lviv. In some non-residential areas, the water level has reached nearly three meters. The Zubra River continues to overflow,” the message reads.

There is a flood risk in parts of the Frankivskyi, Sykhivskyi, and Zaliznychnyi districts.
