  "summary": "A Russian drone strike hit an ammunition depot on the outskirts of Kyiv, killing 37 people and injuring 42, according to MyJoyOnline Ghana. The depot was storing weapons for Ukraine's military near a residential area. The strike caused shells, mines, and drones to detonate, triggering a blast that damaged nearby properties, including a care home for the elderly and disabled.\n\nThe attack, which occurred on Friday night, prompted an investigation into \"terrible negligence\" on the part of those who stored explosive materials next to people, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. The storage site \"definitely shouldn’t have been there\", he said. Four children were among those injured in the explosion, which damaged about 130 homes in the village.\n\nThe Russian Ministry of Defence said its forces had targeted \"an ammunition depot\" in Myla, a village to the west of Kyiv, holding \"components and launch boosters for FP-1/FP-2 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles\". Local resident Liubov Pavlenko described her home, 200m from the ammunition warehouse, as \"completely damaged\" with cracks all around.",
