In Ukraine, Russia intensifies strikes on civilian targets

A Russian strike on a school in the frontline town of Komyshuvakha, located in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, killed at least 33 people and left approximately 50 missing, according to reports from Le Monde English and Ajel English. The school was being used as a humanitarian aid distribution center at the time of the attack. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated the school was struck twice on Monday, while Moscow claimed its forces were targeting Ukrainian military units in the area.

On Tuesday, Russia launched multiple waves of attacks using dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones against Ukrainian energy infrastructure, resulting in widespread power outages. These strikes occurred just a week before US-brokered peace talks are scheduled to resume in Abu Dhabi on November 10 and 11. Additionally, Russian officials reported that a Ukrainian attack overnight caused a fire at a major oil refinery in the city of Yaroslavl.
