Russian strike on Kyiv-area ammunition depot triggers blast, killing 37
On Saturday, a Russian attack on the Bucha district near Kyiv killed at least 37 people, with officials confirming significant damage to residential infrastructure and ongoing evacuations.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed a warehouse strike in Myla followed by detonation, prompting criminal negligence investigations after ammunition was allegedly stored near homes.
Tymur Tkachenko, head of the local regional military administration, reported at least 50 residential buildings were damaged, while Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed it struck a warehouse storing drone components.
Elsewhere, Russian attacks across the southern Kherson region killed two people and wounded 27 more on Saturday, damaging homes and apartment blocks, Oleksandr Prokudin reported.
Referencing a prior Vyshneve attack that killed 22, Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi warned that "making the same mistakes is criminal negligence" and demanded severe punishment for those responsible.
The death toll from Friday's Russian attack on Butja has risen to 37, according to the governor of the Kiev region. An arms depot was hit, causing extensive destruction to surrounding buildings.
