Summary
More than 400 specialists and 131 vehicles are still working in Vishnevoye near Kyiv on the fifth day after a secondary detonation destroyed 13 hectares of housing.
The State Emergency Service said the blast followed a Russian strike; earlier reports said nearly five streets and up to 100 houses were damaged.
Officially, six deaths have been reported, but political analyst Yuriy Romanenko said the toll is being understated, citing medics who described more bodies than available ambulance crews could remove.
The disaster has intensified scrutiny of ammunition storage in residential areas after Zelensky said an Ukroboronprom depot was in Vishnevoye and other Ukrainian commentators described similar blast damage in Pavlograd.
