At least 27 people were killed in a Russian drone attack on a logistics center near the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, according to the local governor. The death toll could still rise, Governor Tymur Tkachenko said on Saturday after the attack the previous evening. In addition, 42 people were injured.
According to authorities, the drone attack occurred on Friday evening in the village of Myla in the Bucha district. A fire broke out as a result, and there were several explosions, Tkachenko said.
"There is significant damage to the surrounding infrastructure: residential buildings and a home for the elderly and disabled were damaged," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram. It is said to have been an ammunition depot.
Russia and Ukraine have expanded their mutual long-range missile attacks in recent months, increasingly targeting civilian infrastructure such as warehouses and oil and port infrastructure. These attacks are resulting in a growing number of civilian casualties.
After the attack in Myla, the prosecutor's office launched an investigation on suspicion that explosive material was illegally stored on the site. It was also being examined whether the company had all the "necessary permits," it was stated.
