Dozens dead and injured reported after Russian attack near Kyiv

A Russian drone strike in the Ukrainian village of Myla has caused significant destruction after hitting a site reportedly used to store explosive materials. The subsequent explosions and fires damaged dozens of residential buildings, leading to the mass evacuation of hundreds of local residents. Regional official Tymur Tkachenko confirmed that the death toll has reached 37, with rescue efforts continuing as several children are among the injured. The scale of the blasts was so severe that police were forced to close a major highway in both directions to ensure public safety.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a large-scale relief operation and confirmed that a criminal investigation into potential negligence is underway, as military supplies should not be stored near residential areas. Zelensky emphasized that Kyiv faces near-constant drone attacks and reiterated his plea to international allies for increased support. As Russia continues its nightly campaign against various regions across the country, the president stated that accountability for the incident will be strictly pursued.
