President Zelensky said the Vyshneve ammunition depot that exploded during Russia’s attack on Kyiv belonged to Ukroboronprom, Ukraine’s state defense conglomerate; a criminal investigation is underway with the SBU, Interior Ministry, and Prosecutor General’s Office, and he promised layoffs at Ukroboronprom as casualties from the overnight strikes mount in Kyiv and surrounding areas.
A Russian overnight attack on Vyshneve near Kyiv killed seven people and injured 29, damaged a warehouse, and forced the evacuation of about 600 residents due to threats of secondary detonations. In Kyiv, at least 19 people were killed and 90 injured. Ukraine said the assault involved ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic Zircon missiles, and hundreds of drones; air defenses shot down many, but strikes damaged several buildings and left some communities, including Vyshneve and Boyarka, without power, while Kyiv’s power grid remained largely stable. Rescue and investigation efforts continued as authorities assess damage and secondary threats.
