Russian strike on Ukraine aid centre kills at least 29 people in Zaporizhzhia as rescuers search for dozens still missing after bombs hit a humanitarian distribution site.
Russian bombs struck a school being used as a humanitarian aid centre in the village of Komyshuvakha, in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region, on Monday, November 2, 2026. According to Ukrainian officials, a first wave of heavy guided bombs fell as local people arrived to collect aid, followed by a second wave that hit a nearby shelter where survivors had taken cover. By Tuesday, the confirmed death toll had risen to 29, with 48 people still missing, at least five injured, and four police officers and two rescue workers among the dead. Three days of mourning have been declared in Zaporizhzhia.
The attack was part of a wider overnight barrage in which President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia launched 289 attack drones, 17 ballistic missiles and 59 cruise missiles across nine regions, hitting energy infrastructure and triggering emergency power cuts. The United Nations humanitarian coordinator for Ukraine condemned the attack on the relief site. The strikes came less than 24 hours after a six-day local humanitarian ceasefire around Oleshky, in the neighbouring Kherson region, had expired, and days before US envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to bring Ukrainian and Russian delegations together for talks in Abu Dhabi.
