Russian drones struck a warehouse west of Kyiv in Myla, Ukraine, on Friday night, killing 37 people in the war’s deadliest attack this year. Ukrainian officials said the warehouse stored shells, mines and other ammunition, and the blast set off fires that spread through nearby homes and buildings. More than 370 people were evacuated, and Ukrainian authorities opened criminal proceedings. Kyiv and Moscow also traded claims about the strike and broader drone attacks.

MYLA, Ukraine — A Russian drone struck a warehouse west of Kyiv that Ukrainian officials say was storing shells, mines and other ammunition, sparking massive explosions and fires that swept through dozens of nearby homes and buildings and killing 37 people.
The Friday night attack on the warehouse in Myla, a village in the Bucha district, was the war’s deadliest attack this year and came on the second of three days of nearly round-the-clock Russian strikes that have severely disrupted life in and around the Ukrainian capital.
