A Russian drone attack on a warehouse located in a residential area of the Bucha district, on the outskirts of Kyiv, has resulted in at least 37 deaths and dozens of injuries, according to local officials. The strike triggered a large fire and a series of explosions that continued for several hours.
Emergency services responded to the scene after the drone‑delivered munitions ignited the warehouse, causing multiple blasts that spread to nearby structures. Rescue teams worked through the night to extinguish the fire and retrieve victims from the debris.
The incident occurred amid a pattern of frequent aerial assaults by Russian forces targeting locations across Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities have not yet released detailed information about the type of drone used or the specific munitions involved.
The Ukrainian government has condemned the attack, describing it as a violation of international humanitarian law and urging the international community to hold Russia accountable for attacks on civilian areas.
The death toll may rise as authorities continue to assess the site and identify additional victims. The exact number of those wounded has not been confirmed, but medical facilities in the region have reported treating a significant number of casualties.
