Russia bombs aid center in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia, killing 24

Nov 2, 2026

On November 2, 2026, Russian forces launched ten guided bombs in a double-tap air strike on a humanitarian aid hub and shelter in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia, killing 24 people, including rescuers Denys Konovalenko and Oleksy Sushchevsky. The strike occurred immediately after a six-day local ceasefire in neighboring Kherson expired, where Ukraine accused Russia of fortifying positions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack as proof Moscow seeks further killings rather than peace.
