Russian strikes on Ukrainian aid centre, hospice and hospital kill at least 38

bbc.co.uk —

Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilian sites, including an aid centre, a hospice and a hospital, killed at least 38 people and wounded scores more over 24 hours. President Volodymyr Zelensky warned the death toll could rise, with over 50 people possibly trapped under rubble. A glide bomb attack on Komyshuvakha village in the Zaporizhzhia region killed at least 33 people as residents gathered for humanitarian aid. A hospice in Dnipro was destroyed, and a hospital in Kharkiv was hit, wounding 73 people, mostly elderly patients. Russia claimed the strikes targeted military units, but no credible evidence supported this. The UN said the aid distribution was highly publicised, and the attack "seems to have violated the most fundamental principles of international humanitarian law". Russia also struck energy infrastructure in nine regions, cutting off water in Kyiv and suspending the metro. Kremlin announced peace talks with Ukraine in Abu Dhabi on 10-11 November.
