Strike near Kyiv warehouse kills dozens and forces evacuations
A Russian attack on a military storage site near Kyiv set off fires and explosions, leaving at least 38 dead and prompting nearby evacuations.
A Russian strike on a munitions depot near Kyiv killed at least 38 people and injured dozens on Saturday, according to reports from the Ukrainian capital. The blast and the fires that followed led authorities to move people from nearby areas.
The attack hit a storage site used for arms and ammunition, triggering a series of explosions that spread through the area, according to Al Jazeera. BBC reporting from Kyiv said officials described the toll as more than 30 dead.
Emergency crews worked at the scene as smoke and fire continued after the strike. The incident added to the damage from Russia’s wider assault on Ukrainian infrastructure and military sites.
Kyiv has faced repeated missile and drone attacks since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, with military and civilian targets both coming under fire.
