Russians struck a warehouse with humanitarian aid in Zaporizhzhia on the night of June 14. Damages are estimated at 3 million dollars, according to Radio Svoboda.

Oleksandra Beliuga, founder of the public organization BELUGA UA, said that three Russian Shaheds hit the warehouse.

"Everything burned down. We had just received five trucks of aid, that’s one hundred tons," she said.

Damages from the enemy attack are estimated at 3 million dollars.

The BELUGA UA team began its work almost at the very start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The organization provided aid to internally displaced persons, to residents in strike zones, and to people in frontline areas.

BELUGA UA was a partner of the international organization World Central Kitchen in the region.
