Russian strikes on aid shelter in southern Ukraine kill 31

theage.com.au [$] —

Rescuers in southern Ukraine searched for a second day for survivors after Russian attacks with bunker-busting bombs destroyed an aid shelter and former school in Komyshuvakha, killing at least 31 people, with more than 45 still missing. The attacks on Monday struck as civilians lined up for aid, with the death toll including four police officers and two rescue workers. Regional officials called it one of the worst civilian tragedies in the area since the full-scale war began, as rescue efforts were interrupted by Russian drones. The strikes came as Ukraine prepared for US-mediated peace talks on November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, with Russia confirming attendance. A broader Russian barrage of drones and missiles across nine regions also damaged power plants and hospitals, while Ukraine launched its own drone attacks into Russia.
