Death toll in Russian airstrike on Komyshuvakha rises to 55 – emergency service

The death toll from a Russian airstrike on the settlement of Komyshuvakha in Zaporizhia district, Ukraine, has increased to 55, according to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. Search operations over the past 24 hours have uncovered and recovered the bodies and remains of nine additional victims from the rubble, the agency stated in a Telegram channel message.

Despite challenging conditions and the persistent risk of additional enemy assaults, rescuers and canine teams persist in clearing the wreckage and searching for those who lost their lives. Russia deliberately targeted a school in Komyshuvakha on November 2, where humanitarian supplies were being delivered to locals. After people sought refuge in a shelter, the attackers launched a second airstrike, unleashing nine more bombs directly onto the shelter.
