On November 6, the death toll from the Russian strike on Komyshuvakha rose to 53, with the search and rescue operation continuing for the fifth day, according to Governor Mykhaylo Semikin. The strike, which was the deadliest Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia Oblast since the invasion began, initially targeted a school where locals had gathered for aid.
Russian forces followed up with nine more aerial bombs on a shelter housing civilians and rescue workers. Among those killed were two rescue workers and a military medic. In a separate development, Ukraine has returned 13 children and teenagers to Ukraine from Russian-occupied territories over the past week, according to Mykola Kuleba, founder of the humanitarian organization Save Ukraine.
The children had faced threats, psychological pressure, and life-threatening conditions under Russian occupation. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continue to target military infrastructure in occupied territories, including striking two Russian ammunition depots, a drone command post, and a fuel and lubricants depot in the past 48 hours, as reported by Ukraine's General Staff. The strikes aim to weaken Russian forces' firepower and disrupt supply lines to their units.
