Fedorov explains Komyshuvakha school collapse after Russian strike

ua.korrespondent.net (Ukrainian) —

A Russian strike on an underground school in Komyshuvakha killed 33 people. Ivan Fedorov stated the facility met building standards but was not designed to withstand the "three-thousand" aerial bombs used in the attack. Fedorov, head of Ukraine's State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development, said all underground schools were built from a single internationally provided project and passed inspections. However, he noted the nine bombs dropped included rare FAB-3000s with over 1,400 kg of explosives, roughly three times more powerful than a ballistic missile. The agency plans to discuss incorporating this experience into future underground kindergarten construction with the Education Ministry, Defense Ministry, and General Staff. The school was used as a shelter distributing humanitarian aid, with over 50 people possibly still trapped under rubble.
