A Russian airstrike during an aid distribution at a southern Ukraine school kills 4

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Authorities say a Russian airstrike on a school in southern Ukraine killed four adults as people gathered to receive humanitarian aid. The governor of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region described the attack as a war crime. Officials say three women and a man, all in their 40s, died in Sunday’s attack in the town of Orikhiv and 11 others were wounded. Russia has been accused numerous times of committing war crimes since its full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine in February 2022. Russia’s Defense Ministry published a video on Monday featuring the country’s military chief. It’s the first time Gen. Valery Gerasimov has been shown since the leader of a mercenary army sought to oust him during a brief rebellion.
