VLADIMIR Putin has killed more civilians in Ukraine with a wave of savage strikes — with nine dying when a suicide drone hit a bus.
The lethal attack in Marhanets, in the Dnipropetrovsk region, also injured another 30 people.
Other ferocious drone “hell” strikes on key Black Sea port Odesa triggered numerous fires in the city and hit civilian infrastructure.
A “massive enemy drone strike” injured six in central city Poltava, while Iranian-designed drones ignited fires around the country’s second largest city, Kharkiv.
Zaporizhzhia region was again hit a day after a strike on a civilian factory injured 38.
But Kyiv hit back yesterday by striking a key ammunition depot deep inside Russia.
It triggered a vast explosion and fireball, followed by a giant mushroom cloud.
It appears the hit breached key munitions storage bunkers at one of the Kremlin’s largest stores.
Locals were said to be evacuating the area, some 80miles away from Moscow.
A Ukrainian report said: “One hundred thousand tons of ammunition flew into the air.
“This was a store for aerial bombs, artillery shells, missiles for multiple launch rocket systems, air defence components.”
