The strikes hit a school where humanitarian aid was being distributed to local residents, and a shelter. According to rescuers, 55 bodies of the dead were recovered from under the rubble after the airstrike, and police identified 30 of them. Search and rescue operations are complicated by Russian drones that regularly attack rescuers and equipment deployed at the strike site. Thus, the strike on the five-story building in Zaporizhzhia has become another episode of systematic attacks on the region's residential areas, resulting in continued suffering for civilians, including children. ## Fact-Check & Sources - [Количество пострадавших в результате удара по Запорожью резко возросло](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/kilkist-postrazhdalih-vnaslidok-udaru-zaporizhzhyu-1794579821.html) - Primary source: statements by RMA head M.
