Russian drone hits rescuers in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region

A Russian drone struck emergency workers on rescue missions in southern Ukraine on Sunday, hitting a former school and nearby shelter in Komyshuvakha that had been previously blasted by Russian guided bombs, authorities said, though no injuries were reported. The attack damaged specialized rescue equipment, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service, following a Monday strike on the same location that killed at least 55 people near the front line in the Zaporizhzhia region. As of Sunday afternoon, 45 people were listed as missing, with many recovered bodies unidentified and DNA analysis ongoing. Ukraine has routinely accused Russia of conducting multiple strikes at the same site to target emergency crews responding to initial attacks. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attack "absolute cynicism and brutality," while France announced it would join U.S.-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10-11.
