Russian strikes killed at least 26 people at a Ukrainian aid distribution site hours after a local ceasefire ended, Ukrainian officials said, underscoring the limits of the evacuation deal.
Acting regional governor Mykhailo Semikin said two rescue workers and four police officers were among those killed at the school in Komyshuvakha, in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, on November 2.
The Daily Inference reported on November 2 that President Volodymyr Zelensky said the school was struck before a further attack hit a place where people were sheltering, with rescuers still searching the rubble.
Separately, Ukrainian authorities said an overnight Russian attack damaged a medical facility in Kharkiv and injured 62 people. Mayor Ihor Terekhov said about 200 patients would be moved to other medical facilities.
"Every Monday, humanitarian aid was distributed to people there," Zelensky said of the Komyshuvakha school. He said people had just arrived to collect supplies when the first aerial bombs hit, followed by more bombs aimed at a shelter.
The accounts of both attacks and their casualty totals come from Ukrainian officials and have not been independently verified. The Kharkiv account identifies an aerial bomb as hitting the facility, while Terekhov described a wider attack using ballistic missiles and guided aerial bombs, so a missile strike on the facility itself is not established.
