This strike represents the deadliest attack of the war this year, highlighting the ongoing civilian toll and escalating retaliatory actions between Russia and Ukraine, with potential implications for Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
The death toll from a Russian strike on a warehouse west of Kyiv, identified as an ammunition storage facility, has risen to 38, with four people still missing, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The attack, which occurred Friday night, also injured 20 people, including two children, and caused massive explosions and fires that damaged dozens of nearby homes and buildings. Emergency workers continued to extinguish fires and neutralize explosive devices at the site in the village of Myla.
In response to Ukrainian drone campaigns against Russian infrastructure, Russia's Defense Ministry announced it is preparing to launch "massive strikes" against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Ukraine has recently targeted facilities of Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries, and its oil refineries and energy infrastructure, which Kyiv claims fund and fuel Moscow's invasion.
