Russian bombing kills 26 people at Ukraine aid centre, Kyiv says

At least 26 people were killed and five injured in an attack on an aid distribution center in Komyshuvakha, a village in southern Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region. Russian bombs, including at least nine 3,000kg aerial bombs, struck the area, causing a massive crater. This comes after President Volodymyr Zelensky called the attack "utterly horrific" and posted a video showing the devastation.

Initially, the death toll was reported at 18, but later increased to 26, including two rescuers and four police officers. Zelensky stated that Russia was apparently unaware that residents received aid there every week, implying a disregard for humanitarian efforts. The Russian military has yet to comment on the incident. Meanwhile, regional head Mykhailo Semikin described the attack as a "terrible tragedy" and confirmed that rescue teams are still working to clear rubble.

A day of mourning has been declared across the Zaporizhzhia region. Peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the US are scheduled to resume soon, but no significant breakthrough is anticipated due to Russia's ongoing aggression.
