Russian drone hits rescuers at Komyshuvakha strike site in Zaporizhzhia

On Sunday, November 8, Russian forces used a drone to attack State Emergency Service (DSNS) rescuers working at a previous strike site in the Zaporizhzhia district. The rescuers were not injured, but their specialized equipment was damaged. The DSNS reported the drone deliberately targeted its personnel, who were responding to an earlier Russian attack. The agency emphasized that Russian troops continue to strike rescuers despite their humanitarian mission of saving lives after shelling. Recent Russian attacks on Zaporizhzhia damaged residential buildings, cars, buses, and a hotel, injuring at least four people. On November 2, a Russian airstrike on Komyshuvakha killed 31 people and left 48 missing.
