The death toll from a Russian bombing attack on the town of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region has risen to 53, with 33 people still missing and possibly buried under rubble. The attack occurred on Monday during a humanitarian aid distribution. Regional Governor Mykhailo Semikin reported the updated death toll on Telegram. Rescue operations continue despite the constant threat of Russian shelling, according to Ukraine's emergency services. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated Russian forces dropped nine bombs on the village, marking one of the deadliest attacks on civilians since the war began.
