Confirmed
In Short: Russian forces bombed an aid distribution center in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, killing at least 26 people.
Russian forces bombed an aid distribution center in the village of Komyshuvakha in Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, killing at least 26 people, including two rescue workers and four police officers, according to Ukrainian authorities.
Regional head Mykhailo Semikin said the attack occurred on Monday, with the death toll rising to at least 29 people and 10 others injured.
Zelenskyy added that the Russians struck first just as people were arriving, and that the aid center was not a military facility but a place where people were supposed to receive support.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said at a press conference in Berlin that Russian strikes on a school serving as a humanitarian aid distribution center in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, killed at least 33 people on Nov. 2, while more than 50 others may still be trapped under the rubble.
