Police identify 30 of 55 bodies recovered from Komyshuvakha airstrike
Nineteen more bodies could still be under the rubble, according to the regional police.
As of November 9th, Ukrainian police have identified 30 out of the 55 bodies recovered from the rubble of a Russian airstrike that struck the village of Komyshuvakha in Zaporizhzhia Oblast on November 2nd. The search and rescue operation is ongoing, with 19 more bodies potentially still buried under the debris, as stated by the regional police.
The exact death toll remains undetermined. The attack on Komyshuvakha came after a series of Russian strikes on the village, including the bombing of a humanitarian aid center, which was a school building housing displaced residents, according to Ukrainian authorities. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that ten aerial bomb strikes were carried out by Russian forces, using both FAB-500 and FAB-3000 bombs, resulting in the collapse of the shelter's underground concrete structure.
Komyshuvakha, situated approximately 30 minutes from Zaporizhzhia, was home to around 5,000 people prior to the conflict. The rescue operation is challenging due to the persistent threat of Russian aerial bombs and frequent drone attacks from first-person view (FPV) drones, as reported by the regional police in their Telegram statement.
