## Summary

Ukraine’s death toll from a Russian attack on a humanitarian aid distribution point in Komyshuvakha has risen to 40, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. The attack matters because it struck a place where residents gathered for weekly aid and may have hit an underground shelter after people were warned to take cover.

Zelenskyy said more than 30 people may still be under the rubble, and some of the dead have not been identified. Ukraine reported that Russia first bombed the building on Monday, then hit the shelter; the toll had been 33 on Tuesday. The UN human rights mission said the bombing likely violated international law.
