Russian Drone Hits Rescuers in Zaporizhzhia After Deadly Strike

military.com —

A Russian drone struck emergency workers in Komyshuvakha, southern Ukraine, on Sunday, damaging rescue equipment but causing no injuries, days after a guided bomb attack on the same site killed at least 55 people. The village is near the front line in the Zaporizhzhia region. As of Sunday afternoon, 45 people were listed as missing, with DNA analysis ongoing for unidentified bodies. Ukraine accused Russia of targeting crews responding to the initial attack, a tactic Kyiv says is routine. A farewell ceremony was held for six police officers and three residents killed in the earlier strike. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack as "absolute cynicism and brutality." Separately, France confirmed it would join US-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, and Russian strikes left over 600,000 people without power in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
