A bodycam video has been released by Ukraine police they say shows the moments between two powerful Russian bomb strikes that killed at least 40 people at an aid centre and a shelter.

The footage, from a camera on one of the killed police officers, shows residents of the southern village of Kamyshuvakha going to an underground shelter after the first attack on Monday. Soon after a blast is heard and flames are seen as the shelter is hit.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said more than 30 people may still be under the rubble, as a search operation continued for the third day.

Nine gliding bombs, some weighing 3,000kg, hit the village as people had gathered to get humanitarian aid, Ukraine said.

The bodycam footage was released by Ukraine's national police on Wednesday.

It shows huge devastation after the first bomb strike on the village in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, as shocked local residents stare at the rubble.

Severely damaged buildings are also seen.

A voice of a military official is then heard on a two-way radio warning police on the ground of more glide bombs being launched towards Kamyshuvakha.

"Quickly [go] to the shelter!" one of the police officers tells local residents, who are seen walking into the shelter - at least two floors underground.

Seconds later the shelter is hit, and the recording stops.

Ukraine said the shelter was near a local school, which was being used to distribute humanitarian aid.

BBC Verify has confirmed the video was filmed in the same place as footage released by the Ukrainian state emergencies service DSNS showing the aftermath Monday's attack in Komyshuvakha.

In a post on social media on Wednesday, Zelensky said that "nine aerial bombs were dropped by the Russians.

"First, they hit people who came to receive humanitarian aid, and then rescuers and police officers who arrived at the scene."

The Ukrainian president added that "unfortunately, there has been very little reaction from the world to this insane attack", describing it as yet another of "thousands" of war crimes committed by Russia.

Ukraine's DSNS earlier posted another video showing a huge crater left after the attack on Kamyshuvakha.

The Russian military has not publicly commented.

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
