Five people were injured after two rockets hit a fuel depot and two more later hit a military factory in the Western City.
Several Russian missiles have hit the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, which has been a haven for displaced people since the Russian invasion began on February 24.
Governor Maksym Kozytsky said two rockets hit a fuel depot on the eastern outskirts of the city on Saturday afternoon, injuring five people, and two rockets later hit a military factory.
He added that he had visited the site of the first strikes and that the situation was “under control” but urged residents to take shelter.
Mayor Andriy Sadoviy said another airstrike caused “significant damage” to infrastructure facilities.”
“Residential buildings were not damaged,” he wrote on Twitter, without giving details of the location.

Lviv, some 60 km (37 miles) from the Polish border, has so far escaped the bombing and fighting that has devastated some Ukrainian cities near Russia.
The city had a population of about 717,000 before the war, but has become a haven for thousands of families fleeing the worst of the fighting in eastern, southern and central Ukraine, and a transit hub for people fleeing the country.
Despite more than four weeks of fighting, Russia has so far failed to capture any major Ukrainian city. The conflict has killed thousands of people, sent nearly 3.8 million abroad and displaced more than half of Ukraine’s children from their homes, according to the United Nations.
Moscow signaled on Friday it would scale back its military ambitions to focus on territory claimed by Russian-backed separatists in the east before attacking the outskirts of Lviv on Saturday.
The Lviv attacks took place when US President Joe Biden was visiting Poland.
Biden described Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “butcher” in his first face-to-face meeting with top Ukrainian officials since the war began.
The meeting, held in the Polish capital of Warsaw, was Biden’s final stop on a trip to Europe aimed at underscoring his opposition to the Russian invasion, his solidarity with Ukraine and his determination to work closely with Western allies to to deal with the crisis.
NATO has so far ruled out a no-fly zone over Ukraine called for by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, fearing it would lead to direct clashes with Russian forces and a Europe-wide escalation.
