Zelensky says dozens dead and missing in Russian strike
Thirty-three people were killed and more than 50 could be trapped in rubble a day after multiple Russian strikes on a Ukrainian village, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in Berlin on Tuesday, calling it one of Moscow's worst attacks of the war.
The death toll from Russian strikes on a humanitarian aid distribution site in Komyshuvakha, Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Region, has risen to 31 as of Nov. 3. Ivan Fedorov, co-chair of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Defense Council, reported on Telegram that there were now 31 confirmed fatalities and 5 wounded, with 48 individuals still unaccounted for.
The Russian strikes targeted a school building being used as an aid distribution point, dropping at least 10 aerial bombs, including on a shelter where people took cover. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the attacks, stating that Russia continues to hate Ukraine and everything in it. Zelensky had proposed a six-day humanitarian ceasefire around Oleshky, but Russia refused.
The ceasefire expired on Nov. 1, and Russian aircraft continued to strike Komyshuvakha throughout the morning of Nov. 2. The Zaporizhzhia Region declared Nov. 3 a day of mourning for the victims.
