Ukraine's national police released bodycam footage on November 4, 2026, that it said shows the moments between two Russian bomb strikes on the village of Kamyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region. The camera was worn by one of the police officers killed in the attack. The video shows residents walking through rubble after the first strike and then entering an underground shelter at least two floors underground.
A military official's voice is heard on a two-way radio warning police on the ground that more glide bombs had been launched toward the village. Officers are heard telling residents to get to the shelter quickly. Seconds later the shelter is hit and the recording stops. Ukraine said the shelter was near a local school being used to distribute humanitarian aid.
Ukraine said nine gliding bombs, some weighing 3,000kg, hit the village on Monday as people gathered for humanitarian aid. The strikes killed at least 40 people, according to Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky said more than 30 people may still be under the rubble as a search operation continued for a third day.
In a social media post on Wednesday, Zelensky said: "First, they hit people who came to receive humanitarian aid, and then rescuers and police officers who arrived at the scene." He added that "unfortunately, there has been very little reaction from the world to this insane attack" and described it as one of "thousands" of war crimes committed by Russia.
BBC Verify said it confirmed the bodycam video was filmed in the same place as footage released by Ukraine's state emergencies service DSNS showing the aftermath of Monday's attack. DSNS earlier posted another video showing a large crater left by the bombing. The Russian military has not publicly commented.
