At least 37 killed after Russian strike hits an ammunition depot near Kyiv, triggering massive explosions. Many of the victims were residents of a nearby care home.

Russian forces struck a warehouse storing ammunition in the village of Myla, on Kyiv's outskirts, on the evening of August 28, triggering explosions that spread to nearby homes and a care home for elderly and disabled residents. At least 27 people were killed, including Taras Didych, a local community head who died while helping others escape, and 20 residents of the care home. Another 42 people, including four children, were injured, and about 50 residential buildings were damaged.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the care home's destruction and said those responsible for storing ammunition too close to residential areas would face consequences, while investigators opened a negligence case. Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi called it 'criminal negligence,' pointing to a similar strike in July on a Vyshneve warehouse that killed nine and damaged 300 buildings without prompting any apparent change in storage practices.

Russia's Defense Ministry said its drones targeted a warehouse belonging to Ukrainian defense manufacturer Fire Point, where drone components were stored, and claimed additional strikes hit logistics sites near Kyiv storing missile components. The Kyiv region declared August 30 a day of mourning.
