Russian airstrike on Ukrainian school shelter kills at least 31 in Zaporizhzhia
cnn.com —
At least 31 people were killed when Russia dropped nine bombs on a school building in southeastern Ukraine used as a shelter and aid center, with 48 others still unaccounted for. The attack in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, collapsed a reinforced EU-funded basement designed to withstand strikes, sparking a fire. A follow-up strike killed two first responders and four police officers assisting survivors. President Volodymyr Zelensky called the strike "utterly horrific," noting it preceded a massive Russian barrage on energy infrastructure. The attack is among the deadliest since the war began, following recent strikes killing dozens in Kramatorsk, Kyiv, and near the capital.
