Russia's Defence Ministry announces plans to launch 'massive strikes' against Ukraine's infrastructure before winter.
The death toll in the Russian strike on Myla village, Kyiv Oblast, has risen to 38, with at least 34 fatalities occurring at the Dobryi Dim nursing home. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on August 30 that 38 people were known to have been killed in the strike and subsequent detonation. Another 20 individuals were injured, including two children, and four remain missing.
Efforts to extinguish fires continue, while bomb disposal crews neutralize explosive hazards at the scene. The regional military administration reported 34 deaths at the nursing home, with all residents killed by the Russian strike. About 50 homes were damaged in Bucha District, and Taras Didych, head of the Dmytrivka community, was among the first to arrive at the scene.
The Ukrainian president ordered an investigation into why munitions were stored near civilian buildings, emphasizing that such incidents are unacceptable.
