At least 26 killed as Russian glide bombs hit a school used as an aid center in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, a day after the Oleshky truce ended
At least 26 people were killed and five injured Monday when Russian aircraft struck a school serving as a humanitarian aid center in the village of Komyshuvakha in Zaporizhzhia region, DW reported, citing AP, AFP, dpa and Reuters. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attack "utterly horrific," saying a first bomb was followed by "a double-tap strike with nine more bombs" aimed at the shelter where people took cover; emergency services said two rescuers were among the dead. The strike came less than 24 hours after the six-day humanitarian ceasefire around Oleshky in Kherson region expired.
