At least 27 killed after Russian drone attack triggers warehouse blast near Kyiv
At least 27 people were killed after a Russian drone struck a warehouse in Ukraine’s Kyiv region, triggering a major fire and a series of explosions.
The incident occurred in the village of Myla in the Bucha district, west of Kyiv, during an overnight Russian drone assault.
Another 42 people were injured, while more than 370 residents were evacuated from the affected area as emergency crews continued rescue operations.
The blasts damaged more than 50 residential buildings and affected nearby infrastructure, including a facility for elderly and disabled people.
Ukrainian authorities have launched criminal proceedings over possible negligence in storing ammunition near residential areas, while President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for those responsible to be held accountable.
An attack on a depot killed at least 37 people. Actually, no ammunition should be stored near residential areas – therefore the prosecutor's office is now investigating.
