A Russian drone strike targeting a weapons depot in the village of Myla, located in the Bucha district near Kyiv, has left at least 37 people dead. The Friday night attack triggered secondary explosions of mines, shells, and drones, causing significant destruction to approximately 130 nearby homes and a local care facility for the elderly and disabled.
Regional official Tymur Tkachenko reported that 42 people were injured in the blast, including four children. Russia’s Ministry of Defence confirmed the strike, stating the facility held components for long-range unmanned aerial vehicles.
President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the placement of explosives near a civilian population as "absolutely unacceptable" and "terrible negligence." Criminal proceedings have been initiated to investigate the officials responsible for the storage site, which Zelensky noted was operated by the armed forces. Prime Minister Sergiy Koretsky expressed frustration that previous lessons from a similar July explosion in Vyshneve—which killed nine people—had not been heeded.
Local residents described the aftermath as devastating, with many homes suffering severe structural damage. The incident has intensified public scrutiny regarding why military munitions continue to be stored in proximity to residential areas despite ongoing aerial threats.
Beyond the Myla explosion, regional officials reported additional casualties across Ukraine, including deaths in the Boryspil and Obolonskyi districts. Meanwhile, Russian authorities reported two deaths and 25 injuries in the Belgorod and Rostov regions following Ukrainian drone strikes, which also targeted logistics centers belonging to the retailer Ozon.
