At least 37 people were killed and 42 injured, including four children, after a Russian drone strike hit a weapons depot near homes west of Kyiv, triggering explosions and forcing nearly 400 people to evacuate. President Volodymyr Zelensky said shells, mines and drones stored at the site detonated, causing widespread damage. He called the storage of explosives near a residential area “absolutely unacceptable” and ordered an investigation into possible official negligence. Russia said it had targeted an ammunition depot in the village of Myla. The strike has renewed concerns over weapons storage near civilian areas. (PC: BBC)
