At least 37 people were killed after a Russian drone strike hit an ammunition depot in the Kyiv region, triggering powerful secondary explosions President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday, vowing to punish suspected negligence in the second such incident in two months.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed negligence in the storage of explosives near populated areas and promised accountability. Dozens of people were injured and hundreds were evacuated from the village of Myla, where residential buildings and a facility for elderly and disabled people were badly damaged.
The depot reportedly contained artillery shells, mines, drones and other ammunition. The incident was the second strike-related ammunition detonation in the Kyiv region in two months, following a deadly explosion in Vyshneve. Criminal cases have been opened over alleged official negligence, while the Defence Ministry ordered a full review of weapons-storage sites.
Russian drone attacks continued against Kyiv and several other regions for a third consecutive day. A 14-year-old girl was killed in the Boryspil district, while a 2-year-old girl died in Kyiv after a drone was shot down. Ukrainian officials say the continuing strikes have damaged homes and major storage facilities and are increasingly disrupting daily life in the capital.
