Russia bombs aid center and shelter in southern Ukraine, killing 24, authorities say
On Monday, Russia carried out a bombing attack on an aid distribution center and a shelter in the southern Ukrainian village of Komyshuvakha, resulting in the deaths of 24 people, according to Ukraine's emergency services agency. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his concern on social media, stating that the attack was proof that Russia has no intention of de-escalation.
The bombings occurred as a limited ceasefire in Kherson, a southern region of Ukraine, had recently expired. The cease-fire had previously permitted humanitarian aid and evacuation missions into front-line areas under Russian occupation. Ukrainian authorities are still searching the rubble of collapsed buildings, with about 20 people missing and the death toll potentially higher.
In other parts of Ukraine, Russian drone attacks injured at least 17 people. Additionally, both Ukraine and Russia reported being victims of hacked emergency alert systems, with Ukraine's app temporarily suspended and Russia's efforts ongoing to restore its app.
