Five people have been killed in a Russian bomb attack which hit a humanitarian aid point handing out food.

The bomb struck in Orkhiv which is on the frontline in southeastern Zaporizhzhia, according to the National Police of Ukraine.

People were getting food, water and other humanitarian aid supplies when the attack happened on Sunday.

Russia has been accused of a war crime in the wake of the attack.

Zaporizhzhia Regional Governor Yuriy Malashko said: "Russians have committed another war crime.

"They launched a guided aerial bomb at a residential neighborhood as people were getting aid.

"Three women and a man died immediately, and 11 were hospitalised."

He later said that a fifth victim, a man, was pulled out of the rubble.
