'We're alive, thank god': Kyiv-area survivor describes Russian strike on ammo depot that killed 38 and wrecked her home
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.
Russia's Dmitry Peskov told reporters there are "no new ideas" and Kyiv refuses to accept Moscow's demands over Donbass, effectively killing ceasefire prospects through winter. The Kremlin's declaration came days after CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a secret four-hour visit to Moscow warning Putin against Baltic escalation. Meanwhile, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has lost off-site power for over a week, with the IAEA warning only a 10-day diesel supply remains on site.
