Bodycam Footage Released From Kamyshuvakha Strikes in Ukraine

Ukraine's national police released bodycam footage on Wednesday showing the moments between two Russian bomb strikes in Kamyshuvakha, a village in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region. The video was recorded on a camera worn by one of the police officers killed in the attack, according to BBC News.

Ukraine says the strikes killed at least 40 people at an aid centre and a shelter in the village. Ukrainian authorities said nine gliding bombs, a type of aerial bomb that travels a long distance after release, hit Kamyshuvakha while people had gathered to receive humanitarian aid. Some of the bombs weighed 3,000 kilograms.

Ukraine said the shelter that was hit stood near a local school that was being used to distribute humanitarian aid. President Volodymyr Zelensky said the bombs first struck people who had come for aid, then hit rescuers and police officers who arrived at the scene.

Zelensky said more than 30 people may still be trapped under the rubble. The search operation was continuing into a third day.

BBC Verify confirmed that the bodycam video was filmed in the same place as footage released by Ukraine's emergency service, known as DSNS, which shows the aftermath of Monday's attack in the village.
