Russian strikes on Ukrainian aid center and shelter kill 26, about 20 missing

business-standard.com —

Russian strikes on an aid distribution center and shelter in southern Ukraine killed 26 people Monday, with about 20 more missing, Ukrainian officials said. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack as proof Russia seeks no de-escalation. The strikes hit a school building used for humanitarian aid and a nearby shelter in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, as a limited ceasefire in the Kherson region expired. Zelenskyy said Russia is sending a signal that it counts on more killings, while Ukraine faces a missile shortage. Rescue efforts were hindered by additional drone attacks, and officials warned the death toll could rise. Elsewhere, drone strikes injured 17 people in Kharkiv and Odesa, and hacked emergency alerts in Ukraine and Russia caused confusion but no panic.
