At least 26 people have been killed and five injured after Russian airstrikes hit a school being used as an aid distribution centre in Komyshuvakha village, Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region. More than 10 glide bombs were reportedly used in the attack. Among those killed were two emergency rescuers, Denys Konovalenko and Oleksii Sushchevskyi, both aged 44, along with four police officers. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as “utterly horrific” and accused Russian forces of deliberately targeting a known humanitarian site. Ukrainian emergency services also reported a suspected double-tap strike, alleging that rescuers were hit while responding to the initial attack.

A Russian drone strikes a school in Kyiv as children and staff remain inside shelters during another night of aerial attacks on the Ukrainian capital. The drone’s warhead does not explode, but the impact damages the school building, leaving a large hole, burn marks and shattered windows. The latest barrage also triggers fires at a residential building and a warehouse, while at least one person reportedly requires medical treatment.
