Russia launches a drone attack that hits a warehouse west of Kyiv, killing at least 37 people, which all outlets describe as the deadliest attack in Ukraine this year. The strike sparks large explosions and fires that spread beyond the warehouse site.
Ukrainian officials say the warehouse was storing shells, mines, and other ammunition. The attack occurs in Myla, a village in the Bucha district, and damages nearby homes and buildings, with sources citing fires that sweep through dozens of nearby structures. One outlet reports that fires damage at least 50 residential buildings, while another notes that many casualties involve residents associated with a care home.
The accounts place the strike within a broader pattern of intensified Russian attacks near the Ukrainian capital. Multiple sources say Kyiv and the surrounding area experience nearly continuous shelling or strikes over several days, with officials describing a campaign approach that aims to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses over recurring attack cycles. Sources emphasize different details—such as the ammunition claim and local damage figures—but agree on the core facts of the strike location, scale of explosions, and the death toll.
