26 killed as Russian forces strike Ukrainian school distributing aid

At least 26 people were killed in Russian strikes on a school in Ukraine’s southern Zaporizhzhia region, where civilians had gathered to collect humanitarian aid. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian forces struck as residents arrived and then attacked the shelter in a second strike; two rescue workers and four police officers were among those killed. The rescue workers, Denys Konovalenko and Oleksy Sushchevsky, were both 44. The attacks came hours after a ceasefire in southern Ukraine expired, which Kyiv had viewed as an opportunity to make progress toward peace.
