Russian strike on ammunition depot near Kyiv kills 38

A Russian drone strike hit an ammunition storage facility in the village of Myla in the Bucha district west of Kyiv on August 28, 2026, triggering secondary explosions and fires that spread to nearby residential areas. The death toll rose to 38 with four people still missing. Ukrainian President Zelensky opened a criminal investigation into officials who allowed ammunition to be stored near civilian homes, citing a similar incident in Vyshneve in July 2026.
