Russian strike on Ukrainian warehouse kills 37 in war's deadliest attack this year

Myla, a village in Ukraine's Bucha district, suffered a devastating Russian drone strike on Friday night, resulting in the deaths of 37 people. The attack targeted a warehouse storing shells, mines, and other ammunition, leading to massive explosions and fires that engulfed dozens of nearby homes and buildings. The warehouse strike marked the deadliest single incident of the war thus far, occurring on the second day of intense Russian assault in a three-day period.

Since Thursday, Kyiv officials have reported near-constant Russian strikes, both on the capital and throughout Ukraine, as part of a strategy to wear down Ukrainian defenses with sheer numbers. Tymur Tkachenko, head of the local regional military administration, confirmed that 34 of the victims were residents of a care home for the elderly.
