Zelenskiy blames 'terrible negligence' as death toll from Kyiv ammunition depot strike rises to 38
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 remain missing after Russia's deadliest strike of the year killed 38 in the village of Myla, where artillery shells, mines and drones stored near civilian homes sparked massive secondary explosions. Zelenskiy called the depot's location a "crime" and has opened criminal proceedings against officials responsible. Russia's defence ministry has now vowed "massive strikes" on Ukraine's energy infrastructure in response to Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil and gas facilities.
