Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
A clearly marked UN interagency convoy of four trucks delivering hygiene kits, medicines and shelter materials to Bilozerka, a front-line town in Kherson region, came under artillery fire on 14 October, and first-person-view drones then hit and burned two World Food Programme trucks. No aid workers were hurt. UN Humanitarian Coordinator Matthias Schmale attributed the attack to Russia's armed forces and said deliberately targeting humanitarians is a gross violation of international humanitarian law.
