A Russian bombing of an aid distribution point in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region has killed 40 people, with dozens more missing, in one of the deadliest strikes on civilians this year. The attack occurred in Komyshuvakha, where rescuers searched for bodies after multiple strikes hit an underground school shelter. Ukrainian officials reported 59 missing, with rescue workers and police among the dead, while Russia claimed it targeted military units. The strike came after a U.S.-brokered local ceasefire expired and ahead of planned talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11. Ukraine and Russia both deny deliberately targeting civilians.
