Russian strike on Ukraine aid site kills 29; 48 missing

The death toll from a Russian strike on a humanitarian aid site in southern Ukraine has risen to 29, with 48 people still missing, officials said Tuesday. The attack occurred as Russia launched a massive overnight barrage across nine regions. The guided-bomb attack targeted a school distributing aid in Komyushuvakha, Zaporizhzhia, then hit a nearby shelter, killing four police officers and two rescue workers. A separate wave of strikes on Kharkiv wounded at least 62 people, while attacks in Dnipro killed one and wounded 17. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia launched 289 drones, 17 ballistic missiles, and 59 cruise missiles, triggering emergency power cuts, and linked the barrage to the U.S. elections. Russia claimed to have shot down 856 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 493 near Moscow, while a Ukrainian drone attack damaged an oil refinery in Yaroslavl.
