Russian bombing of Ukrainian aid centre kills 24 people: Zelenskyy

What the report says

Ukraine says a Russian air attack on a humanitarian aid centre in the village of Komyshuvakha in Zaporizhia region killed 24 people and injured five others, according to Al Jazeera’s report published on 2 November 2026. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the strike hit a school being used as an aid hub and accused Moscow of showing no interest in de-escalation or justice.

Zelenskyy said the attack involved an initial strike followed by a second wave of bombs aimed at the shelter where civilians were gathered. He said the location had been used each week by residents who remained in the area to collect assistance. Footage from Ukraine’s emergency services, as described by Al Jazeera, showed the site reduced to rubble. Regional officials said among the dead were a police officer and two rescuers from the State Emergency Service, and that 27 people were still missing.

The report also said other Russian drone strikes injured people in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region and in Odesa, damaging civilian property including homes, greenhouses and a refrigeration facility. Russia’s defence ministry separately said it had intercepted 212 Ukrainian drones overnight. As reported by Al Jazeera, Moscow has continued to deny deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, a claim that remains disputed amid repeated attacks on non-military sites.
