An Irish national posted video from a bomb shelter in Lviv, Ukraine, on May 3, as strikes and explosions were reported in the area.

Joby Redmond told Storyful that, though he is a costume designer by trade, he went to Ukraine to help refugees get flights to Ireland.

In his video from inside a bomb shelter, Redmond describes the scene during an air raid. “Nobody panics, nobody runs, nobody’s grabbed and escorted out …. It’s just part of life in Lviv.”

The head of the Lviv Regional Administration, Maksym Kozytsky, said on May 3 that three electrical substations were damaged in strikes. Local media reported power outages in Lviv city, citing the mayor. Credit: Joby Redmond via Storyful
