The military airplane maintenance center was just outside Lviv. Something like 6 cruise missles (Kalibr, I'd assume, given that they started around the Black Sea, but munitions =/= my thing); of the 6, 2 were downed and 4 hit their targets.

This is a arms depot in a village outside of Ivanko-Frankivs'k.
