Ukraine's Zelenskyy: Russian bombing kills 18 in southeastern Zaporizhzhia region

The school was used weekly for aid distribution, and Zelenskiy said Russian forces dropped nine more bombs on the shelter after the first strike.

  • On Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, Russian forces bombed the village of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region, killing 18 people and injuring five, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported. The attack destroyed a school used for humanitarian aid.
  • This bombardment occurred shortly after a limited ceasefire in the Kherson region expired on Sunday, when Russia refused to extend the humanitarian aid agreement that had allowed evacuations from Russian-occupied territory.
  • Zelenskyy reported a 'double-tap' tactic: "After the first air strike, there was a repeat strike with nine more bombs, directly on the shelter where people were gathered." Local authorities reported 27 people remain missing.
  • Emergency services are working at the scene to recover survivors trapped beneath rubble, as Zelenskyy denounced the attack as "utterly horrific," stating Russia "is counting on further killings" rather than seeking de-escalation.
  • Reciprocal cyberattacks between Kyiv and Moscow, alongside renewed strikes in the Odesa region, signal a hardening of hostilities following the collapse of humanitarian efforts between Ukraine and Russia.
