Russia has carried out a drone attack in the Bucha region near Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, resulting in at least 27 fatalities.
According to Tamur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv regional military administration, on August 29, "This is not the final count; the death toll may rise further."
He also reported that at least 50 residential buildings were damaged in the attack, which sparked a large fire that spread to nearby homes and restaurants.
In response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated, "There were chain explosions," and pointed out that regulations prohibit storing ammunition near residential areas. He noted that the situation arose after a warehouse in the village of Milla was struck, and a criminal investigation into official negligence has been initiated, although he did not disclose specific details about the attack site.
Meanwhile, Russia's airstrikes on Kyiv have continued for the third consecutive day. Despite more than four and a half years since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the conflict shows no signs of abating.
