Dozens Dead After Russian Drone Strikes Hit Ammunition Depot Near Kyiv

A massive Russian drone assault on the outskirts of Kyiv has killed dozens of people, marking one of the most sustained aerial attacks of the war. The strikes targeted an ammunition depot, triggering a series of powerful explosions that shook the capital region. Since Thursday, Moscow’s jet-powered drones have kept the area under near-constant threat, setting off 27 separate air-raid alerts. The relentless bombardment has stretched over several days, making it one of the longest continuous attacks in the conflict. Rescue teams are still sifting through the rubble, but officials confirm the death toll is rising. The strikes have also damaged nearby residential buildings, forcing many families to flee their homes. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept some of the drones, but the sheer volume of the assault overwhelmed parts of the city’s outer defenses.
