Kyiv region: Russian drone strike kills at least 27 near Myla FAST-MOVING
A Russian drone strike on a warehouse in the village of Myla, located in the Bucha district of the Kyiv region, has resulted in at least 27 deaths and approximately 42 injuries. The strike, which occurred around 8:10 p.m. on Friday, triggered massive secondary explosions and a large-scale fire that spread to nearby residential areas, including private homes and a facility for the elderly and disabled.
Among the deceased is Taras Didych, the head of the Dmytrivka community. Local authorities, including Kyiv regional governor Tymur Tkachenko, reported that more than 380 residents have been evacuated from the vicinity. The explosions caused significant damage to infrastructure, including at least 50 residential buildings.
Ukrainian prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into potential official negligence. The probe will examine the legality of storing explosive materials at the enterprise and whether the company possessed the necessary permits. Prime Minister Sergiy Koretsky characterized the incident as “criminal negligence,” noting that ammunition should not be stored near residential zones.
