LVIV, Ukraine, June 23 (Reuters) - A storm killed four people on Monday in western Ukraine and brought trees and power lines crashing to the ground, officials said.

Emergencies Ministry officials in the city of Lviv gave few details of how the four died. Four people were injured.

High winds felled trees and power was knocked out in districts of the city and surrounding areas.

Repair crews were clearing streets of fallen boughs and working to re-establish power supplies. (Reporting by Lyuba Sorokina, Writing by Ron Popeski)
