A Russian strike on a warehouse in Ukraine killed 27 people, prompting an investigation into whether the site was being used to store ammunition near a residential area. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy suggested the warehouse held munitions, a claim that has fuelled scrutiny of the location of military supplies close to civilian zones. The strike has intensified debate over Russian targeting tactics and Ukraine's practice of siting military assets in populated areas. The full casualty count and identities of those killed have not been released. Russia has not publicly commented on the specific incident.
Why it matters
