Police have located seven residents of Komyshuvakha in Zaporizhzhya Oblast who went missing following a Russian airstrike on November 2, according to Mykhailo Semikin, the acting head of the Zaporizhzhya Oblast Military Administration. All seven survivors are alive and uninjured, confirmed Zaporizhzhya Oblast police chief Artem Kysko.

Initially, authorities were concerned they might be trapped under the rubble, but their relatives contacted police for assistance. The last person found was Olha, 56, who had not responded to her family after the attack. Police are still searching for other missing individuals, and the death toll from the strike has risen to 43, as reported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Russian forces conducted a large-scale aerial bombing attack on Komyshuvakha on November 2, targeting a school where humanitarian aid was being distributed. Subsequently, nine more aerial bombs were dropped directly on a shelter where people were taking refuge. Ivan Fedorov, co-chair of the regional Defense Council, stated that the bombs used were FAB-500 guided aerial bombs and then three-ton FAB-3000 bombs, both significantly more powerful than a ballistic missile.

As of November 5, rescuers had recovered 42 bodies from the rubble, and authorities are working to identify them. Up to 33 more people could be trapped under the rubble, according to police.
