Russian strike on Ukrainian aid site kills 31 in Zaporizhzhia

globalnews.ca —

At least 31 people were killed and dozens remain missing after a Russian strike hit an aid facility and shelter in Komyshuvakha, southern Ukraine, with rescuers continuing to search the rubble Tuesday. The attack in the Zaporizhzhia region used bunker-busting bombs and killed four police officers and two rescue workers, prompting three days of mourning. A separate overnight barrage of 289 drones and 76 missiles across nine regions wounded at least 62 people in Kharkiv and damaged power plants, causing emergency outages. The strikes came as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to Germany for consultations ahead of U.S.-mediated peace talks scheduled for Nov. 10-11 in Abu Dhabi. Russia confirmed it will attend the negotiations, which will focus on postwar security and humanitarian efforts.
