Russian drone hits rescuers in Zaporizhzhia after deadly strike

kcra.com —

A Russian drone struck emergency workers at a site in southern Ukraine on Sunday, hitting a former school and shelter previously blasted by guided bombs, damaging rescue equipment but causing no injuries. The strike occurred in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, where a Monday attack killed at least 55 people. Around 50 people remain missing, with DNA analysis ongoing for unidentified bodies, according to Ukraine’s military intelligence agency. Ukraine accuses Russia of "double tap" strikes targeting responders, and President Zelenskyy condemned the attack as cynical, urging sanctions on missile producers. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant also lost external power, relying on backup generators.
