What happened
In Stryi Raion of Lviv Oblast, in the village of Duliby, an explosion occurred in the office building of a motor transport company on the evening of February 6 at around 18:00. The incident was reported by the National Police of Lviv Oblast.
According to the police and the State Emergency Service (SES), the explosion injured three people: two of them with serious injuries, and another with moderate burns. The victims were hospitalized, and the building suffered significant damage. During the clearing of the rubble, rescuers found the body of a man.
"Two people sustained serious injuries, and one person has moderate burns,"

Context and consequences
This happened on the same day a car exploded in Odesa, an incident the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) has classified as a terrorist attack. No direct link between the incidents has been established so far, but law enforcement draws attention to the possibility of an increased threat to infrastructure facilities.
"Investigators and explosive technicians are working at the scene; the circumstances are being clarified,"
— National Police of Lviv Oblast
Why it matters
Motor transport companies are part of critical logistics, especially during wartime. Damage to such facilities affects freight delivery, repair work, and evacuation routes. If it turns out the explosion was deliberate, the security implications for transport and businesses would be broader than the local destruction.
An EOD and investigative examination is underway; additional checks at transport hubs and increased patrols are expected. Experts advise refraining from spreading unconfirmed information and reporting suspicious items to security authorities.
Conclusion
The facts are: an explosion in Duliby, one dead, three injured, and a damaged building. The questions that matter next are whether this was a domestic accident, a technical failure, or an intentional act — and if intentional, whether it is connected to other incidents in the country. The investigation will provide answers; for now, vigilance and trust in official sources are important.
