Strike on Myla: 38 killed, 52 wounded, around 300 damaged sites

Efforts to deal with the aftermath of a Russian strike and the subsequent explosion continue in the village of Myla in the Bucha district of Kyiv region.

According to the head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, Tymur Tkachenko, the death toll has reached 38 people, with 52 injured, including five children. Novyny.LIVE reports this.

“At this moment, unfortunately, it is known that 38 people were killed as a result of the strike and the subsequent detonation. My condolences to their families and loved ones. In addition, 52 people were injured, including 5 children. Nine people remain in hospital. Doctors describe their condition as moderate,” Tkachenko said.

As a result of the tragedy in Myla and surrounding settlements, around 300 sites were damaged. These include more than 200 private homes and 14 multi-story buildings. Some residential buildings sustained minor or partial damage, while a number of structures were completely destroyed.

According to Tkachenko, one of the main priorities now is assisting people who have lost their homes. Together with the relevant ministry, the authorities are developing mechanisms for restoring destroyed housing, damaged infrastructure, and supporting those affected.

On the two most heavily damaged streets, specialists have already restored electricity supply following prompt demining. Work to restore power and gas supply in other areas is ongoing. A humanitarian hub continues to operate in the community, where those affected can receive psychological assistance and submit applications for financial support. More than 200 such applications have already been received.

On August 30, Tymur Tkachenko personally visited the site of the tragedy, inspected the area where explosions and a fire at a warehouse occurred following the Russian strike, and assessed the consequences of what had happened. Earlier, on August 29, he stated that Russian shelling was hampering the work of rescue workers, medical personnel, and other emergency services. An operational headquarters for managing the aftermath of the strike continues to work in the Dmytrivska community, and the Kyiv regional authorities are preparing for possible new attacks.
