Zelensky condemns Russian bombing of Ukrainian school that killed at least 40

independent.co.uk —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned a Russian bombing that killed at least 40 people at a school in southeastern Ukraine, calling the attack "insane" and urging a strong global response. Zelensky said Moscow dropped nine aerial bombs on Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region, striking civilians receiving humanitarian aid and then first responders who arrived at the scene. He noted search and rescue operations were still ongoing three days after the attack. Separately, Russian retail giant Ozon said a drone strike hit one of its warehouses in southern Russia, causing a fire and forcing it to cancel some orders. The company did not assign blame, though Ukrainian forces have repeatedly targeted Ozon and competitor Wildberries, which Kyiv accuses of supporting Russia's war effort.
