26 Killed as Russia Strikes School Used for Aid Distribution in Southeastern Ukraine

Five people were rescued and more than 50 remained trapped as Ukraine said a FAB-3000 bomb hit the shelter, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that 33 people died after Russian air attacks struck a school serving as a humanitarian shelter in the village of Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia, on Monday.
  • Residents from surrounding villages had gathered at the school to collect bread when bombs fell, followed by a double-tap strike with nine additional bombs targeting the underground shelter where civilians were taking cover.
  • Acting head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration Mykhailo Semikin confirmed that two rescue workers and four police officers were killed, while nearly 50 people remain trapped under rubble.
  • The region will observe three days of mourning between November 3 and 5, as United Nations humanitarian coordinator Matthias Schmale condemned the attack, stating "civilians seeking support and first responders coming to the rescue must never be a target."
  • U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff will mediate talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10 and 11 to discuss post-war security and de-escalation, even as Russia maintains its demand for the handover of territory in the Donetsk Oblast.
