Russian airstrike targets flood evacuees sheltering in school after Ukrainian president's visit.

Russia has shelled the Ukrainian-held parts of Kherson, targeting major evacuation routes from flooded areas, causing casualties at a school where flood evacuees were sheltering. The shelling came just after Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited a crossing point where people were being evacuated from flooded areas and called for “a clear and quick global response” to Tuesday’s bombing of the Nova Kakhovka dam, which Kyiv and its allies say the Kremlin orchestrated. Ukrainian authorities reported at least three people had died in the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky, and the Russian-installed mayor of Nova Kakhovka said five people had drowned in the area.
