- Ukraine's national police released bodycam footage on Wednesday from one of the police officers killed in Monday's attack, showing residents entering a shelter before the second Russian bomb strike and the recording stopping seconds after impact.
- Ukraine said nine gliding bombs, some weighing 3,000kg, struck Kamyshuvakha while people gathered for humanitarian aid, killing at least 40 people across an aid centre and shelter.
- Zelensky said more than 30 people may still be under the rubble as a search operation continued for a third day.
- DSNS posted separate video showing a huge crater left by Monday's attack in Kamyshuvakha.
- BBC Verify confirmed the bodycam was filmed in the same location as state-emergency-service footage of the aftermath.
- Russian military had not publicly commented on the attack.
- Zelensky called the attack "insane," said the world had shown "very little reaction" and described it as another of the "thousands" of war crimes committed by Russia.
Why it matters: Residents collecting aid and responders bore the immediate cost: at least 40 people were killed, and some of the nine bombs weighed 3,000kg. The footage supplies direct visual evidence of the sequence after an initial strike, while the Russian military remained publicly silent.
