Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia school kills 33, Zelenskyy condemns attack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned a Russian attack on a school used as an aid hub in Zaporizhzhia as a "vile terrorist strike," with at least 33 people killed and 50 still buried in rubble. The school, near the frontline, was used for aid distribution every Monday. Zelenskyy said Russian forces struck twice with aerial bombs, targeting people arriving and then the shelter. Two rescue workers and four police officers were among the dead. Russia's Defence Ministry claimed it targeted Ukrainian military units in the region. The attack followed a local ceasefire expiry, and UN monitors reported rising civilian casualties in July. Ukrainian officials urged international isolation of Russia, ahead of US-mediated talks scheduled for November 10-11.
