Dozens killed at Zaporizhzhia aid site as Russia hits grid and Kyiv strikes refinery

15 sources

Russian bombs killed at least 31 people at an aid site in southern Ukraine on Monday evening. Overnight, Moscow hit a Kharkiv hospital and the power grid, while Ukrainian drones set a Russian refinery on fire.

Russian aircraft struck a former school used for weekly aid distribution in Komyshuvakha, east of Zaporizhzhia, on Monday, 2 November. Zaporizhzhia military administration head Mykhailo Semikin said nine strikes, first with FAB-500 and then with FAB-3000 bombs, collapsed the underground shelter, and more than 40 people are listed as missing. President Zelensky said the first bombs fell as residents arrived for aid, and he called it a "terrorist strike". Ukraine's emergency service says two rescuers who took cover in the shelter are among the 31 confirmed dead. The region declared three days of mourning from 3 to 5 November.

Hospital and power grid hit

Russian ballistic missiles and guided bombs hit a hospital in Kharkiv overnight; authorities reported between 62 and 77 injured and evacuated patients to other hospitals. Ukrenergo reported more than 20 strikes on energy facilities within 24 hours, with emergency outages in several regions including Kyiv. Kyivvodokanal said water supply was temporarily shut off across the capital. Ukraine's air force counted 289 drones, 17 ballistic missiles and 59 cruise missiles launched overnight.

Refinery near Moscow road ablaze

Ukrainian drones attacked the Slavneft-YANOS refinery in Yaroslavl, Russia's fifth-largest by capacity. Governor Mikhail Yevrayev said 124 drones attacked the city, a fire broke out and two refinery employees were injured. Meduza reports that traffic on the road toward Moscow was closed for several hours.

Other opinions

Russia's Defense Ministry summary listed strikes in the Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Kharkiv regions but did not mention Komyshuvakha, according to Meduza.
