Russia hit ammunition warehouse in Ukraine's Kyiv region, Zelenskyy says
Zelenskiy said the strike set off secondary explosions and left 10 people dead, prompting a criminal case and planned dismissals at Ukroboronprom.
- On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed that Russia struck an ammunition warehouse in Vyshneve on July 6, triggering massive secondary explosions outside Kyiv.
- The attack killed 10 people and damaged nearly 300 homes, with 91 completely destroyed; Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko called it "the most extensive destruction of the residential sector" since the war began.
- Following the explosion, Zelensky announced a criminal case has been opened and officials at Ukroboronprom, which owned the warehouse, will be held responsible with some facing dismissals.
- The episode sparked public outcry over negligence and lack of information; Ukrainian officials rarely disclose damage to military targets, making this acknowledgment a notable policy departure.
- Zelensky described the incident as an "absolutely horrifying situation," while authorities from the Security Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Prosecutor General continue investigating the circumstances.
