Volodymyr Zelensky says "ammunition cannot be stored near homes" after depot strike

A Russian drone strike on a military munitions depot in Myla, a village near Kyiv, set off explosions that killed 37 people, wounded 42—including four children—and forced hundreds to evacuate, regional officials said. President Volodymyr Zelensky said the arsenal had been placed unacceptably close to homes and announced a criminal investigation into official negligence, citing rules that govern where ammunition may be stored. He said those responsible would face consequences. Russia’s Defense Ministry said it targeted a warehouse holding drone components and boosters. The blast, which also damaged a care home, follows a similar July depot strike near Kyiv that killed nine and has renewed concerns about repeated failures.
