Death toll rises to 50 in Russian attack on aid distribution point in Ukraine

The death toll from Russia's Nov. 2 aerial bomb attack on the village of Komyshuvakha in Zaporizhzhia Oblast has risen to 53, according to Governor Mykhaylo Semikin. The search and rescue operations at the site have continued for five days, with the final death toll yet to be established. The strike was the deadliest Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia Oblast since the start of the full-scale invasion, with Russian forces striking the front-line village several times on Nov.

2. President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack as "exceptionally horrific," stating that Russian forces could not have been unaware that civilians regularly gathered at the site to receive humanitarian aid.
