The BBC reported that Kyiv says a bodycam video shows a Russian double‑tap bombing that hit a Ukrainian village on Monday. The attack killed at least 40 people, and officials say another 30 may still be buried under the rubble. Ukrainian authorities described the strike as a deliberate two‑stage assault, with the second explosion hitting rescuers and civilians who had gathered after the first blast. The footage, according to Kyiv, captures the sequence of the attacks and the devastation left in their wake.
Why it matters
The video, if verified, could provide evidence of a deliberate double‑tap tactic and highlight the ongoing humanitarian toll of the conflict.
