Warehouses of War: The Unintended Consequences of Ukraine's Ammunition Storage The recent Russian strike on a Ukrainian ammunition warehouse in Myla has left 37 people dead and dozens more displaced, sparking questions about the handling of military supplies in areas where civilians live.
The attack is a stark reminder that even as Ukraine steps up its long range strikes against Russian targets, the country's own internal practices may be contributing to the devastation.
The warehouse was storing shells, mines, and other ammunition, much of it close to residential areas, according to Ukrainian officials.
