Ukraine war: Kyiv: Search for missing persons after attack on ammunition depot
Dozens of people have died as a result of a Russian attack on an ammunition depot near Kyiv, which shouldn't have been there. President Zelensky describes the current situation.
The death toll from explosions at a munitions depot near Kyiv, Ukraine, has risen to 38, with 4 people still missing, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The depot, which stored grenades and mines, was attacked by Russia on Friday, and most of the victims were residents of a nearby old-age home. Zelenskyy reported 20 injuries, including 2 children, and said that rescue teams had extinguished most of the fires, but explosive experts were still searching for unexploded ordnance.
Russia's defence ministry claimed that it had struck a facility in Kyiv storing drone components and explosives. Zelenskyy also stated that Russia had launched nearly 2,000 attack drones, over 1,600 bombs, and 31 missiles at Ukraine in the past week.
