> A Russian missile strike hit a warehouse near a residential area outside Vyshyneve, southwest of Kyiv, on July 6. The attack triggered massive explosions and devastated what had been a quiet suburb. Streets once lined with tidy gardens, cherry trees and family homes now look like a frontline town. The report examines how the ammunition depot intensified the destruction and raised the death toll from the Russian strike. It also reflects demands that those responsible receive the most severe punishment.
