Russian attack on aid centre in Zaporizhzhia kills 40, Zelenskyy says

The death toll from a Russian attack on an aid distribution point in southeastern Ukraine has risen to 40, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday, with more than 30 people possibly still under the rubble. Russia dropped several bombs Monday on a building in Komyshuvakha village in the Zaporizhzhia region where residents received weekly humanitarian aid, followed by a second strike on an underground shelter. Zelenskyy called it one of the war's deadliest attacks, revising the toll from 33 on Tuesday. Ukrainian police released bodycam footage of an officer killed in the strike, urging people into a shelter before the explosion. The UN's human rights mission said the bombing likely violated international law.
