An ammunition depot hit near Kyiv: the deadliest strike of the year in Ukraine
On the night of Friday 28 to Saturday 29 August 2026, a Russian drone hit a warehouse in Myla, west of Kyiv, where Ukrainian authorities say ammunition for their army was stored. The blast spread fire to dozens of homes. The toll was revised from 37 to 38 dead on Sunday, with four people still missing; two of the seven countries covering the episode still report 37. Kyiv points to negligence in siting the depot, Moscow to a legitimate military target.
