The death toll from a Russian attack on a site where people had gathered to receive humanitarian aid in Komyshuvakha, in southern Ukraine, rose to 29 on Tuesday, with 48 people still missing; in the same wave of overnight strikes, hospitals were damaged and scores of people wounded.

The head of the Zaporizhzhia regional military administration, Mykhailo Semikin, said the attack left 29 dead, 5 injured and 48 people whose whereabouts are unknown. President Volodymyr Zelensky said that after the first strike on the local school “used for humanitarian needs”, there was a second attack on the place where people were sheltering.
