At least 27 people have been killed and dozens injured in a Russian drone strike on a munitions warehouse near Kyiv, Ukraine. The attack, which occurred on Friday evening, also damaged surrounding infrastructure, including homes and a nursing home, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The head of the Dmytriwka community, Taras Didytsch, was among those killed, and over 300 emergency responders were deployed to the scene.

Almost 400 people were evacuated from the area, and a major road to the west was closed for several kilometers to allow for rescue efforts.
