Rescuers search for missing after Russian bomb attack in Zaporizhzhia kills 31

cbc.ca —

Rescuers in southern Ukraine searched Tuesday for survivors at a bombed aid facility and shelter in Komyshuvakha, where at least 31 people were killed and more than 45 residents remain missing. The attack in the Zaporizhzhia region used Russian bunker-busting bombs, some with nearly 1.5 tonnes of explosives, killing four police officers and two rescue workers. Three days of mourning were declared, with officials calling it one of the region's worst civilian tragedies since the war began. The strike coincided with a broader Russian barrage of 289 drones and 76 missiles across nine regions, causing power cuts. Diplomatic efforts continue, with talks planned in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10-11, while Ukraine also struck a Russian refinery in Yaroslavl.
