Death Toll From Myla Ammunition Depot Strike Rises to 38, Mayor Among Dead

The confirmed death toll from the August 28 Russian drone strike on an ammunition depot in Myla (Bucha district, Kyiv Oblast) rose to 38 by August 30, with 20 injured and 4 people still missing as emergency crews continued clearing the site and bomb-disposal teams worked through unexploded munitions. Among the dead was Taras Didych, mayor of the nearby village of Dmytrivka. Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko's government came under renewed criticism after officials confirmed this was the second Ukrainian munitions-storage site near a residential area to be hit within six weeks, prompting Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office to widen its criminal negligence investigation into why explosives were stored beside a care home and residential streets.
