Multiple Russian strikes kill at least 26 at Ukraine aid centre
At least 26 people were killed in Russian strikes on a school being used as a humanitarian aid centre in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region. Ukraine’s president says there were two separate strikes, an initial attack, and then a second one on a building where residents were hiding.
At least 26 people were killed in Russian airstrikes on a school that was serving as an aid distribution center in Zaporizhzhia, a southern Ukrainian region.
Local officials say 27 people are missing after at least nine 3,000kg aerial bombs hit a village in southern Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians as they tried to access humanitarian aid being distributed at a local school.
Ukrainian president Zelenskyy says attack on aid hub was ‘vile’ and shows Russia does not want to de-escalate Russia on Monday bombed an aid distribution centre and neighbouring shelter in southern Ukraine, killing at least 26 people, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the country’s emergency services said. Emergency services said two members of a rescue crew and four police officers were among the dead in the village of Komyshuvakha, in south-eastern Zaporizhzhia region.
President called the attack further proof that Russia does not want any kind of de-escalation or real justice.
A rare humanitarian ceasefire has allowed civilians to evacuate the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky.
