According to multiple major outlets, a Russian strike hit a large Ukrainian ammunition depot in the Kyiv region, setting off waves of secondary blasts that killed at least 37–38 people and wounded many more, with the toll expected to rise as rescue operations continue.[3][5][7][9] Video and local reports describe powerful detonations that went on for hours, sending shrapnel and debris into surrounding residential and industrial areas, damaging buildings and forcing emergency evacuations.[3][5][9] The attack, which Ukrainian officials say involved drones and missiles targeting a facility storing shells, mines and other munitions, underscores Russia’s intensified campaign against Ukraine’s logistics hubs and raises fresh concerns among Ukraine’s allies about the resilience of its air defenses and ammunition supply lines as the war grinds on.[3][5][7][9]
