Ukraine's interior minister said 37 people were killed after a Russian strike near Myla in the Kyiv region triggered explosions at an ammunition warehouse. Four people remained missing as emergency crews continued work, while police said about 400 residents were evacuated and more than 10 people were rescued from basements. The blasts damaged about 130 homes and other buildings across several streets. Police, the Security Service and prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into possible official negligence, including why ammunition was stored among residential buildings, as investigators interviewed about 40 victims and witnesses and sent evidence for forensic examination.
