Kyiv, Aug 29: At least 37 people have been killed following a Russian strike close to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, officials said Saturday, one of the deadliest attacks to hit Ukraine this year.
The attack sparked a fire in the Bucha district, west of Kyiv, that swept through homes and damaged at least 50 residential buildings, said Tymur Tkachenko, head of the local regional military administration.
Kyiv investigates warehouse targeted in attack In a statement on the attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that a warehouse had been struck in the village of Myla, “followed by a detonation.” He did not give details on the site, but wrote in the same message that Ukrainian law forbade the storage of ammunition close to civilian homes and that criminal proceedings had been opened.
“Those who allowed this to happen must be held accountable for their decisions,” Zelenskyy said.
