Russia dropped an aerial bomb on Zaporizhzhia: 24 people killed

24 people were killed as a result of an air strike by Russian troops on the village of Komyshevakha in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region. This was reported by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, according to AP.

 

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, 10 guided aerial bombs were dropped on the area. The target was a school building where humanitarian aid was being distributed and a shelter next to it. Zelenskyy called the attack another proof that Russia has no intention of de-escalating.

 

The attack occurred on the day the ceasefire agreement in Kherson region expired. This agreement had made it possible to deliver humanitarian aid and evacuate the population from front-line areas in Russian-occupied territories.

 

Ukrainian officials also reported on Monday that several drone attacks had been carried out on the country's territory by Russia.

 

In addition, residents of Ukraine and Russia received false alerts as a result of a malfunction in the state emergency mobile applications. In Ukraine, these included a message about a nuclear threat. The Ukrainian side announced that its application had been restarted, while Russia reported that system restoration work was ongoing.
