Russian airstrikes on Komyshuvakha kill 55, 45 missing in Zaporizhzhia region

Russian airstrikes on Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, have killed 55 people, with 45 others listed as missing, according to acting regional governor Mykhailo Semikin on Sunday, November 8. Search and rescue operations at the school site continue for a seventh day. Semikin reported that 55 bodies have been recovered from the rubble, 29 of which have been identified. The search is hampered by constant Russian drone attacks, forcing rescuers to pause operations periodically. The acting governor emphasized the priority of finding everyone and identifying victims while protecting rescue workers' lives. The strikes began November 2 with guided bombs on the gymnasium, followed by a FAB-3000 bomb on an underground shelter. Ukrainian intelligence attributes the attack to Colonel Fedir Zubakov, involving four Su-34 aircraft. President Zelensky stated nine additional bombs targeted the shelter, which was used for humanitarian purposes.
