Death toll rises to 38 from Russia's deadliest attack on Ukraine this year
The attack came as Russia has sharply intensified its air campaign recently in the 4 1/2-year-old war.
As of Sunday, the death toll from a Russian strike on a warehouse west of Kyiv has reached 38, with four people still unaccounted for, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Friday night attack on the warehouse, rumored to be storing ammunition, caused massive explosions and fires that damaged dozens of nearby homes and buildings in the village of Myla.
The escalation marks a shift in tactics by Russia, who has recently intensified its air campaign in the four-and-a-half year old war. Emergency workers continued to combat fires and secure the area, with Zelenskyy reporting 20 injuries, including two children. The Russian Defense Ministry revealed plans to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure in retaliation for the drone campaign against Russian online retailers.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials warned that the upcoming winter may be the most difficult since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022.
