KYIV: At least 37 people were killed after a Russian drone attack on a Kyiv-area ammunition depot sparked a detonation, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday, vowing to punish suspected negligence in the second such incident in two months.
The attack late on Friday struck a military facility in the village of Myla, where artillery shells, mines and drones were being stored. Dozens of people were injured and hundreds were evacuated as fires and secondary explosions swept through the area.
Nearby homes and infrastructure were badly damaged, including a facility caring for elderly people and those with disabilities. Among those killed was the head of a neighbouring village, who had gone to the scene to help.
Zelensky described the incident as a “terrible situation” and blamed what he called serious negligence by those responsible for storing explosives close to civilians.
