A Russian drone struck emergency responders on the morning of Nov. 8 at the site of a Russian airstrike on a shelter in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhya Oblast, where at least 55 people were killed.
On Nov. 8, a Russian drone attacked emergency responders at the site of a Russian airstrike in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhya Oblast, Ukraine. At least 55 people had died in the initial airstrike on Nov. 2, and more than 30 may still be trapped under rubble. Russian forces deliberately targeted the emergency workers, as confirmed by Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, calling it an act of "absolute cynicism and cruelty." As of Nov. 7, Russian airstrikes had killed 55 people at the site. Ukrainian military intelligence reported that Russian forces had dropped two guided aerial bombs on the Dzherelo Gymnasium school earlier in the week, destroying its facilities and killing and trapping people inside.
Russian forces used four Su-34 aircraft for the Nov. 8 attack. Zelenskyy highlighted that the school was being used for humanitarian purposes, providing shelter and aid to residents. Among the confirmed dead in Komyshuvakha were two emergency responders and four police officers.
