Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia aid center kills 40, dozens missing

At least 33 people were killed and 48 are missing after a Russian attack on an aid center in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, with victims primarily civilians and volunteers, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The death toll from the attack on the village school building has risen to 40, with dozens still unaccounted for under the rubble. The strike, described as a "double-tap" attack, involved nine aerial bombs targeting people who had gathered to help after the first explosion. The assault is the deadliest on civilians in frontline areas of Zaporizhzhia during the war, and rescue operations are being repeatedly interrupted by Russian drone threats. The attack occurred after a humanitarian ceasefire in Oleshky expired, and Zelenskyy warned of a potential new massive strike on infrastructure.
