At least 27 people were killed and dozens wounded after a Russian drone strike triggered a massive explosion at a warehouse near Kyiv, in one of the deadliest attacks on the capital region in months. President Zelensky said Russian drones hit the facility, causing a powerful blast, while Kyiv authorities launched an investigation into reports of ammunition being stored close to residential homes. Russia claimed it targeted an arms depot storing drone-making equipment, calling it a legitimate military objective. Meanwhile, Moscow tested a nuclear-capable ICBM with a range of over 6,700 km, sending a major strategic signal to the US and NATO. The latest developments highlight the growing intensity of the Russia-Ukraine war and the wider confrontation between Moscow, Kyiv, Washington and NATO.
