At least 29 people were killed after Russian bombs hit an aid distribution centre, in an attack that Ukraine's leader has called "utterly horrific".

Another 10 people were injured and 48 were reported missing after at least nine 3,000kg aerial bombs hit the village of Komyshuvakha in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, regional head Mykhailo Semikin said.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that after the first strike on the local school "used for humanitarian needs", there was a second attack on the place where people were sheltering.

He earlier said that "the Russians could not have been unaware that the local residents who remained in Komyshuvakha received humanitarian aid there every week" on Monday.
