Death toll rises to 38 as Russia threatens MASSIVE energy strikes after Kyiv depot blast
Volodymyr Zelensky launched criminal proceedings against Ukrainian officials after Friday night's strike revealed ammunition had been illegally stored beside residential properties in Myla, killing 37 people.Russia's defence ministry boasted the overnight barrage was "massive," hitting ports, grain storage, energy sites and industrial infrastructure with ballistic missiles and 258 drones.Among the 37 people killed in the Myla strike were four children, with a further 42 people injured in the chain of explosions.Shells, mines and drones stored in the warehouse detonated, engulfing at least 50 residential buildings in fire — including a care home — and forcing 381 residents to evacuate.
Four people are still unaccounted for after an ammunition depot in Myla, a village in the Bucha district west of Kyiv, was hit, leaving 20 people injured — among them two children — and around 130 homes damaged. Zelenskyy has launched criminal proceedings over suspected official negligence, saying the weapons store "definitely shouldn't have been there." Russia's Defence Ministry is now preparing "massive strikes" on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov vowing "an appropriate response" to Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil and gas targets.
