26 killed as Russia strikes Ukraine school used for aid distribution
Russian forces struck a school being used as a humanitarian aid distribution centre in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, killing at least 26 people, with around 20 others missing. Rescue efforts were disrupted by fresh drone attacks. Meanwhile, cyberattacks triggered fake emergency alerts in Ukraine and Russia, as a limited ceasefire in the Kherson region expired.
Russian forces carried out an attack on a medical facility in Kharkiv overnight on November 3, injuring 46 people and forcing the evacuation of around 200 patients, according to local authorities. Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city with a population of approximately 1.4 million, is situated just 30 kilometers from the Russian border.
The city has endured a series of Russian missile, drone, and aerial bomb assaults since the commencement of the full-scale war. The assault targeted an area connecting buildings at the medical facility in Kharkiv's Nemyshlianskyi district, as reported by Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov. The strike inflicted damage to over 1,000 windows in the medical facility and adjoining apartment buildings.
Terekhov disclosed that about 200 patients would be relocated to other medical facilities as emergency services operated at the scene. Russian forces utilized a combination of ballistic missiles and guided aerial bombs in their coordinated assault on the city.
