Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia aid centre kills 26, Ukraine says

bbc.com —

At least 26 people were killed when Russian bombs struck a humanitarian aid distribution centre in the village of Komyshuvakha in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region, Ukrainian officials said. At least nine 3,000kg aerial bombs hit the village, with five people injured and 27 initially reported missing. President Volodymyr Zelensky said a second attack targeted people sheltering after the first strike on a local school used for humanitarian needs, calling the assault "utterly horrific". Rescue operations were repeatedly halted due to Russian drone attacks, and a day of mourning was declared for Tuesday. Peace talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US are due to resume in Abu Dhabi next week.
