  "summary": "A Russian drone strike on a warehouse near Kyiv late on Friday has killed at least 27 people, according to Ukrainian authorities. The strike sparked a major fire and explosions at the warehouse in the Bucha district, close to the Ukrainian capital, forcing over 370 people to evacuate the region, with children among those evacuated, as reported by New Voice of Ukraine, which also stated that more than 200 people were evacuated.\n\nThe depot appeared to have been storing explosives, and the blast damaged residential areas, as well as a care home for the elderly and disabled people, according to Le Monde English. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a warehouse was struck, followed by a detonation, and that nearby infrastructure suffered significant damage.\n\nAmong those killed was Taras Didych, head of the Dmytrivka community, who was one of the first to rush to the scene to rescue people, according to DW English. The Kyiv region governor, Tymur Tkachenko, said the figure of 27 deaths may not be final. At least five people were also injured, and one private home was destroyed, with seven others damaged, along with a nursing home, as reported by New Voice of Ukraine.",
