Russian drone hits rescuers at Zaporizhzhia strike site, no injuries reported

wcvb.com —

A Russian drone struck emergency workers at a former school and shelter in southern Ukraine on Sunday, damaging rescue equipment but causing no injuries, authorities said. The site in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, had been hit by guided bombs days earlier, killing at least 55 people. Around 50 remain missing, with DNA analysis ongoing for unidentified bodies. Ukraine accused Russia of a "double tap" strike targeting responders, a tactic Kyiv says is routine. The attack also disrupted power for 600,000 people, and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant lost external power.
