On November 8 alone, Russian forces attacked Ukrainian rescuers in Komyshuvakha three times, according to a statement by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
Today, Russian soldiers launched drone strikes three times against emergency workers who were operating at the site of a previous Russian airstrike in Komyshuvakha.
During the second attack, an enemy drone hit a fire and rescue vehicle. As a result of the strike, a State Emergency Service of Ukraine driver was injured, and the special equipment was damaged.
Approximately an hour later, as rescuers were evacuating the damaged vehicle, the Russians launched another strike. This time, another rescue driver was injured, and the equipment was damaged again.

Tragedy in Komyshuvakha
On November 2, Russian troops struck the community with three-ton guided aerial bombs.
It is known that the invaders used at least nine KAB-3000 bombs.
Initially, it was reported that 18 people had died as a result of the attack, including emergency service workers who performed their duties until the very end. However, the number of fatalities immediately began to rise sharply.
The enemy struck a school that was being used for humanitarian purposes: aid was being distributed to people there. After the initial bomb strike, there was a secondary strike involving nine more bombs, specifically targeting the shelter where people were located.
As of November 8, rescue operations have been ongoing in Komyshuvakha for a week. Currently, 55 residents of the Zaporizhzhia region are confirmed dead.
