The death toll from a strike on a humanitarian aid distribution point in KamyShevakha has reached 40, with 30 more people possibly trapped under the rubble, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Local authorities report about 200 people remain in the settlement. Zelensky stated on Wednesday, November 4, that the attack, carried out on November 2 with nine guided aerial bombs, targeted people receiving aid and then rescuers and police who arrived at the scene. He noted some bodies have not yet been identified. Acting regional governor Mykhailo Semikin said 166 people have been evacuated from the settlement since early 2026, including 77 elderly and 33 disabled individuals.
