Ukrainian police now put the death toll at no fewer than 42 after Monday's large-scale Russian bombing of a school building in the village of Komyshuvacha, in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to Dagens Nyheter. Dozens of people are still unaccounted for.
According to the same reporting, the building was hit in two separate waves while people had gathered there to collect emergency assistance. The strike is described as one of the deadliest single attacks on civilians in Ukraine this year.
The casualty figure comes from Ukrainian police and was reported by Dagens Nyheter. Other Swedish outlets covering the same attack have given differing initial counts, with Aftonbladet reporting at least 40 dead at a relief center and Svenska Dagbladet reporting more than 70 wounded in a strike on a medical facility. The material reviewed does not reconcile these figures, and CYBEV.io has not independently verified them.
The details available remain limited: the reporting does not specify the exact time of the strikes, the type of weapons used, or a breakdown of those killed and injured. What is clear is that the two-wave attack struck while civilians were present for aid distribution, and that rescue and recovery work continued as people remained missing.
Watch for updated casualty figures and confirmation of the number of missing as Ukrainian authorities continue clearing the site.
