Russian drone hits rescue teams in southern Ukraine shelter

elnuevodia.com (Spanish) —

A Russian drone struck emergency teams conducting rescue operations in southern Ukraine on Sunday, hitting a former school and nearby shelter previously bombed by Russian guided bombs while residents awaited humanitarian aid, authorities reported. No injuries occurred, but specialized rescue equipment was damaged. The attack targeted the same location in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, where a Monday strike killed at least 55 people, according to Ukraine. Ukraine's HUR military intelligence agency said about 50 people remain missing, with DNA analysis underway for unidentified recovered bodies. Ukraine has repeatedly accused Russia of double-tap strikes targeting responders. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack as "absolute cynicism and brutality," reporting over 600,000 people without power in Dnipropetrovsk region from Russian strikes. Russia launched 115 missiles, 1,900 guided bombs, and over 3,000 drones in the past week. The Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant lost external power, operating on diesel generators.
