A Russian drone attack hit an explosives depot in the village of Myla, in Ukraine, causing a fire and explosions that forced the evacuation of 200 people from the affected area. The attack was part of the ongoing Russian attacks against Ukrainian territory.

After the attack, the Ukrainian Prosecutor's Office opened an investigation to determine whether the storage of explosives was legal and whether the company responsible for the depot had the necessary licenses to operate at that location. The authorities are verifying the operating conditions of the depot.

The village of Myla was chosen as the location for the operation of the explosives depot, although the investigation now questions the legality of this activity in the region. The Ukrainian authorities are investigating the circumstances of the case.
