A Russian drone strike hits an ammunition depot in the village of Myla, in Ukraine’s Kyiv region, triggering massive secondary explosions and cleanup operations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announces that the death toll reaches 38 as of Sunday, Aug. 30. Earlier reporting by another outlet places the toll at at least 37.
Zelensky says 20 people are injured, including two children, and that four people remain missing. He adds that State Emergency Service pyrotechnic units work around the clock to clear unexploded ordnance from the heavily contaminated area. Both outlets describe the target as an ammunition warehouse storing shells, mines, and other ordnance.
One outlet also links the attack to a broader intensification of Russian aerial attacks, citing a large increase in drones, aerial bombs, and missiles launched over the previous week, including North Korean ballistic missiles. The other report focuses more narrowly on the human toll and Zelensky’s response, without additional detail on the wider attack campaign.
