Russia bombs humanitarian aid distribution site in southern Ukraine, killing 31. More than 40 people remain missing.

On November 3, Russian military forces conducted two airstrikes on Komyshuvakha, a town in the Zaporizhzhia region of southern Ukraine, killing 31 people and leaving over 40 missing, according to the latest official figures. The strikes targeted a former school building, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed was being used for humanitarian aid distribution and as a shelter for displaced residents.

Zelensky accused Russia of deliberately targeting the site, calling the incident a "terrorist strike." The Ukrainian government proposed humanitarian initiatives in the region, but Zelensky stated that Russia's actions continued to escalate the conflict. Russian forces reportedly carried out a total of nine strikes in the area, utilizing both FAB-500 and FAB-3000 bombs.

The building, located less than 20 kilometers from the front line, had been a site for humanitarian aid distribution on Mondays before the strikes.
