Russia bombs in southern Ukraine kill 26
On Monday, Russia carried out bombings in southern Ukraine, specifically targeting an aid distribution center and a shelter in the village of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region. The attacks, which killed 26 people and left about 20 others missing, were carried out while a limited ceasefire in Kherson expired. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the strikes, stating they demonstrate Russia's unwillingness to de-escalate the conflict.
He also noted that the killings signal Russia's intention to escalate attacks amid a shortage of Ukrainian missiles. As night fell, emergency responders searched through the rubble of collapsed buildings, with the death toll potentially rising. Additionally, Russian drone attacks in other regions of Ukraine injured at least 17 people, and cyberattacks in both Ukraine and Russia led to false emergency alerts warning of a nuclear threat, a chemical hazard, and public disturbances.
