Russian forces launched a bombing attack on an aid centre in Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of at least 31 people, according to Ukrainian officials. The attack occurred at a school in the village of Komyshuvakha, located in the Zaporizhzhia region, which was no longer in use for students due to its proximity to the front line.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed the nation that the center had transformed into a shelter and a weekly distribution point for humanitarian aid packages collected by residents each Monday. Zelenskyy described the Russian attack as a "vile terrorist strike," noting that it occurred just as people were arriving to collect aid.

Among the casualties were two members of a rescue team and four police officers, with five individuals, including two rescue workers, receiving hospital treatment. The aftermath of the bombing revealed smoldering debris scattered across the affected area. Russia has yet to issue any official response to the tragic incident. Zelenskyy emphasized that the attack served as further evidence that Russia is unwilling to pursue any form of de-escalation or genuine justice.
