Zelenskiy Reports Survivor Found After Russian Strike in Ukraine

Rescue workers discovered a survivor three days after a Russian bombing of a humanitarian aid distribution center in Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, as announced by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The death toll from the attack has risen to 43, with dozens still believed trapped beneath the rubble.

Zelenskiy stated that rescue operations and victim identification efforts are ongoing. The Zaporizhzhia police reported that approximately 33 individuals might still be buried in the debris in the village of Komyshuvakha, where the attack occurred.

Footage from Ukraine’s National Police showed rescue workers recovering bodies and clearing debris. A verified body camera recording captured the moments before a second Russian strike hit a shelter where residents had sought refuge.

The bombardment involved a three-tonne FAB glide bomb, estimated to carry around 1.4 tonnes of explosives. Russia’s Defence Ministry claimed its forces targeted Ukrainian military units, asserting that up to 25 Ukrainian servicemen were killed, while both sides deny intentionally targeting civilians.
