Russian Bombing Kills at Least 30 at Aid Distribution Point in Zaporizhzhia Region

A strike on a school used as a shelter and aid hub in the village of Komyshuvakha, close to the front line in southeastern Ukraine, killed at least 31 people on Monday. Two rescue workers and four police officers were among the dead after a second strike hit while crews responded. Police and rescuers are still trying to reach people believed to be trapped under rubble.

What Zelenskiy and Russia Said

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said aerial bombs hit the school as residents arrived for the weekly handout of humanitarian packages, followed by another strike on the shelter. He called it a terrorist attack and said Moscow could not have been unaware of the gathering. Russia’s Defence Ministry said it targeted Ukrainian military units near three settlements and claimed up to 25 servicemen were killed. Both sides deny deliberately hitting civilians.

Reactions After the Oleshky Ceasefire

The strike came a day after the six-day truce around Oleshky ended. Zelenskiy said Russia missed a chance to build on that humanitarian mission. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned the attack and urged countries to shun Russian participation in top-level sport after a ruling ordering its return to major tournaments.

Peace Talks Planned in Abu Dhabi
