According to Ukrainian authorities, a Russian attack in Bucha near Kyiv resulted in the death of 27 people. Following the assault, an explosion occurred that could further increase the death toll.

Local military administrator Timur Tkachенко reported that 42 people were injured, including four children. The injured are suffering from varying degrees of injuries, with seven of them requiring hospitalization.

The attack took place at night and targeted a storage facility, leading to a detonation and subsequent fire. The exact circumstances and the type of weapons used are still under investigation.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Russian drones had previously attacked the village of Mila, which may be linked to the current incident. Investigations into potential negligence are ongoing, as confirmed by the relevant authorities.
