Officials say the warehouse may have been illegally storing munitions, raising questions about what was housed at the site at the time of the strike. The attack underscores the continued intensity of Russia's aerial bombardment campaign as the war grinds on, with civilian infrastructure repeatedly caught in the crossfire. Details on the exact circumstances of the blast, including whether munitions storage contributed to the death toll, are still emerging.
