A catastrophic detonation in the village of Mylo, Kyiv region, has led to a confirmed death toll of 38, with four individuals still missing. This tragic event, which also left unexploded ordnance scattered, marks a severe escalation in the conflict's impact on civilian areas, prompting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to report on the rising casualties. Simultaneously, Ukraine endured a large-scale overnight assault involving two ballistic missiles and 130 unmanned aerial vehicles, causing a fire in Kyiv and disrupting civilian operations in the region. Adding to the alarm, Russia's Ministry of Defense has announced preparations for 'mass strikes' targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, alongside intelligence reports indicating a looming large-scale offensive in the Donetsk region. Amidst these developments, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Pavlo Palisa noted Russia's increased use of reactive drones, which current interception technologies are struggling to counter.
