azatutyun.am The death toll from the Russian drone strike on a warehouse near Kyiv has reached 37, Reuters reports:
President Volodymyr Zelensky has promised to punish those responsible for the explosion at the warehouse. Dozens of people have been injured, and more than 370 people have been evacuated from the village of Mila, Zelensky said.
Last night, Russian forces struck several cities in Ukraine, including Kyiv. He added that nearby infrastructure has suffered "significant damage," including residential buildings and a nursing home.
"Those who allowed this to happen must be held accountable for their decisions," Zelensky wrote on X.
"There are regulations in place. Ammunition cannot be stored near houses or other residential areas. Appropriate conclusions will definitely be drawn," he emphasized.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that a strike was carried out on an ammunition depot belonging to the Fire Point missile company in the village of Mila.
Russian military officials also stated that strikes were carried out on the warehouses of the "FIM Service" logistics center located in the village of Chaika in Kyiv region, which "were used to store components of the 'Flamingo' long-range cruise missiles," as well as on the logistics center in the village of Kalinovka, where a customs terminal is located that handles the distribution of military cargo arriving from Western countries.
There is no confirmation of this from independent sources.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhiy Korotky compared the incident in Mila to the explosion and subsequent fire that occurred on July 6 in Vyshneve, where an ammunition depot near residential buildings was also damaged, calling it "criminal negligence."
