The Kyiv City Military Administration confirmed that there were fatalities as a result of the attack. Among those killed was Taras Didych, head of the Dmytrivska community. Following the attack, he was among the first to go to the scene to help people, but was killed in the detonation.
A total of 381 people, including 59 children, were evacuated from the emergency site.
Rescuers, police officers, medics, and other emergency services are working at the scene. Meanwhile, Russian forces continue attacking the Kyiv region with strike drones.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyi reacted to the tragedy. The head of state stressed that regulations prohibit the storage of ammunition near residential buildings and other residential areas.
