euronews.com —

Russian strikes on a humanitarian aid site in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region killed 31 people on Monday, with over 45 still missing, according to regional authorities. Residents had gathered for weekly aid distribution when at least nine FAB-3000 bombs, each weighing around three tonnes, hit the site. Four police officers and two rescue workers were among the dead, while volunteers joined the search despite disruptions from Russian drones. At a hospital in Zaporizhzhia, doctors treated four survivors for burns, fractures and shrapnel wounds, including a 22-year-old woman with burns covering 81% of her body. President Volodymyr Zelensky called it "one of the largest Russian mass killings of this war," and regional authorities declared three days of mourning.
