The death toll from a Russian attack on a site where people had gathered to receive humanitarian aid in Komyshuvakha, in the Zaporizhzhia region, rose to 31 on Tuesday, with dozens still missing under the rubble.
The dead included four police officers and two rescue workers, according to the acting head of the regional military administration, Mykhailo Semikin, and at least five people were hurt. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia launched 289 attack drones, 17 ballistic missiles and 59 cruise missiles across nine regions, triggering emergency power cuts. In Kharkiv, a combined Russian missile and drone attack wounded at least 62 people, according to local authorities. Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it shot down 856 Ukrainian drones overnight, and Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 493 drones were fired toward the capital.
