## Summary

New footage shows villagers in Komyshuvakha taking shelter in a basement after a Russian attack, only for a bomb to hit the building. The strike killed 40 people, making it one of the deadliest attacks in the area in nearly five years of war, and underscoring the danger facing civilians near the front line.

The attack on Monday targeted a former school and nearby shelter in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region as residents waited for humanitarian aid; officials said up to 30 people may still be buried in the rubble. Separately, Russian overnight attacks included 310 drones, of which Ukraine’s air force said it had downed or suppressed 272. Strikes also caused power and water outages in Kyiv, which were later resolved.
