A Russian strike on Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region has killed 31 people, while another 58 are still missing. Russian drones are hampering efforts to clear the rubble, said Mykhailo Semikin, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration.
"Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region has suffered the deadliest Russian attack in terms of the number of casualties in nearly five years of the full-scale war. We know of 31 people who were killed. Twenty of them have not yet been identified. Identification efforts are ongoing. Another 58 people are considered missing," he said.
Semikin said that five injured people are receiving the necessary medical care, and doctors are fighting for their lives and health.
"Rescue workers are continuing to clear the rubble. This work is extremely difficult and dangerous. The enemy has intensified drone attacks on the site of the tragedy. Due to the threat of aerial attacks, search operations have to be repeatedly suspended," the regional administration chief said.
He stressed that every family would receive financial assistance for funeral expenses and full support in preparing all the necessary documents.
Earlier, on Monday, November 2, Russia twice struck Komyshuvakha with guided aerial bombs. The targets included a school where humanitarian aid was being distributed and a shelter.
According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Russians knew that aid was distributed at that location every week.
