Russian drone hits rescuers in southern Ukraine after strike kills 55

abcnews.com —

A Russian drone struck emergency workers at a site in southern Ukraine on Sunday, damaging rescue equipment but causing no injuries, after a previous attack killed at least 55 people in Komyshuvakha. Around 50 people remain missing, with DNA analysis ongoing for unidentified bodies. The strike hit a former school and nearby shelter in the Zaporizhzhia region, where residents had gathered for humanitarian aid. Ukraine’s military intelligence identified Russian service members involved in the earlier "double tap" bombing, which Ukraine says deliberately targets responders. A farewell ceremony in Zaporizhzhia honored six police officers killed in the strikes, alongside three residents. A community leader whose wife died distributing bread urged international action, warning Russia will not stop at Ukraine if unchecked.
