Ukraine’s State Security Service (SBU) denied earlier on Saturday that Russian helicopters had landed in the Lviv region, a development that would signal the escalation of the Moscow invasion, Reuters reported.
Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said Russia had landed three helicopters near the town of Brody in western Lviv and that Ukrainian forces had repulsed the attack.
The SBU stated that the information was false and that no such landing had taken place. He said a Ukrainian helicopter had flown a reconnaissance flight over the area.
“We urge residents to remain calm,” the SBU said in a statement posted on Facebook.
Sadovyi’s office declined to comment and the SBU declined to comment further.
The Lviv regional administration said the plans circulating on social media with a helicopter firing rockets into the Lviv region were Ukrainian and not Russian.
“Everything is quiet at Brody!” The statement said. “There is no cause for concern.”
Russian forces pounded Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kiev, with artillery and cruise missiles for the third day in a row on Saturday.
