Russian Strike on Ukraine Aid Site Kills 31, Hits Power Plants Nationwide

A Russian attack on a humanitarian aid distribution site in southeastern Ukraine has killed at least 31 people, with 5 injured and nearly 50 missing. The strike occurred as Russian forces launched a massive overnight assault on power plants across the country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russia fired 289 attack drones, 17 ballistic missiles, and 59 cruise missiles at nine regions, causing emergency blackouts. The initial strike hit a school building in Komyushuvakha, Zaporizhzhia, followed by an attack on a nearby shelter. In Kharkiv, a combined missile and drone attack wounded at least 62 people and damaged a medical facility. The Kremlin confirmed it will hold trilateral peace talks with Ukraine and the United States in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, with Putin aide Vladimir Medinsky leading the Russian delegation. Russia's defense ministry said the strikes targeted electricity infrastructure supporting Ukrainian military operations.
