Zelenskyy: 'Since last night, efforts to mitigate the consequences of a Russian drone attack have been underway in the village of Mykola, near Kyiv. Command posts have been set up on-site to provide assistance to the affected population. All necessary services are involved. Units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU) are working at the scene, with over 300 personnel deployed. The attack targeted a warehouse, which subsequently detonated. Unfortunately, there has been significant damage to the surrounding infrastructure, including residential buildings, a retirement home for the elderly and people with disabilities. As of now, 27 people have been confirmed dead. Among the victims is Taras Didych, the head of the Dmytriv community. He was reportedly helping to rescue people. My condolences to the families and friends of the victims. Dozens of people have been injured. Over 370 people have already been evacuated, and the evacuation process is ongoing.'
