Ukraine: Russian bombs kill 26 at aid distribution point
At least 26 people were killed in a Russian airstrike on a humanitarian aid centre in the village of Komyshuvakha, in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region. The attack on Monday involved at least nine 3,000kg aerial bombs and left five others injured.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the attack was a two-stage strike. The initial bombs hit a local school being used for aid distribution, followed by a second attack on a nearby shelter where people had fled. The death toll, which was revised upwards throughout the day, included two rescuers and four police officers who had responded to the scene.
Mr Zelensky stated that Russian forces "could not have been unaware" that the site was used for weekly aid distribution. A day of mourning was declared across the Zaporizhzhia region for Tuesday.
