Ukrainian authorities reported that a Russian strike targeted a school building utilized for aid distribution in the Zaporizhzhia region, resulting in dozens of casualties and disrupting rescue efforts.
Russia launched 289 attack drones, 17 ballistic missiles and 59 cruise missiles across nine regions, President Zelenskyy said in an online post that noted the barrage coincided with U.S. elections. Russian forces struck a school being used as a humanitarian aid distribution centre in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, killing at least 26 people, with around 20 others missing. Rescue efforts were disrupted by fresh drone attacks.
At least 26 people were killed in Russian airstrikes on a school that was serving as an aid distribution center in Zaporizhzhia, a southern Ukrainian region. Russia hit Ukraine with a massive airstrike overnight hours after an attack on a humanitarian aid center killed at least 29 people, the latest in Moscow’s intensifying barrages that have led to mounting civilian casualties.
NPR reported the story as "Death toll hits 29 after Russian strike on Ukrainian aid site, with 48 still missing." The Independent reported the story as "Russian blast on Ukrainian school used as aid centre kills at least 31." South China Morning Post reported the story as "Russian bombing of Ukraine aid centre and shelter kills 26."
