Russian drone hits rescuers searching for victims in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region

A Russian drone attacked rescuers searching for victims under rubble in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, on Sunday morning, November 8, where at least 55 people died in a previous Russian airstrike. No rescuers were injured, but special rescue equipment was damaged. The State Emergency Service reported the deliberate drone strike on personnel conducting rescue operations. President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack as "absolute cynicism and cruelty," noting search efforts have been ongoing for seven days since the initial bombing. The original November 2 strike hit a gymnasium shelter with guided bombs, including a FAB-3000, killing 55 people with over 30 possibly still trapped. Two rescuers and four police officers are among the dead.
