Ammon News - The death toll from a Russian strike on an ammunition depot in ​Ukraine's Kyiv region has risen to 38 ‌and the search continues for four people who are still missing, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday.
The deadliest ​Russian strike in the Kyiv area ​this year took place late on Friday ⁠as Moscow launched an intense campaign of attacks ​on the Ukrainian capital, which has continued over ​the weekend.

Friday's blast hit a military facility that held artillery shells, mines, drones and other ammunition.

Zelenskiy said on ​Telegram that first responders had managed to ​extinguish most of the fires. However, the scale of ‌contamination ⁠in the area was significant, and this work would continue for as long as necessary.

The president released video footage showing firefighting teams battling ​blazes and ​removing debris ⁠from destroyed buildings.
In its intensified attacks on the country, Russia over ​the last week launched nearly 2,000 ​strike ⁠drones, more than 1,600 aerial bombs, and 31 missiles, including North Korean ballistic missiles, Zelenskiy ⁠said.

"We ​are seeking just responses to ​every Russian strike and crime. They will certainly come," he ​said.
