Rescuers race to free dozens are trapped under the rubble after Russian glide bombs kill 33 at a Ukrainian aid centre
Rubble-strewn ground at Komyshuvakha, in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region, where Russian drones repeatedly forced rescue teams to suspend operations throughout the night after the initial strikes.
Nine Russian glide bombs — each carrying up to 1.5 tonnes of explosives — struck Komyshuvakha village in Zaporizhzhia as residents lined up to collect humanitarian aid, then collapsed the roof of an underground school where survivors had sought refuge. Zelenskyy called it "one of the largest mass killings committed by Russia during this war," with more than 50 people feared still buried as rescue teams pulled bodies from the wreckage wrapped in white plastic sheeting.
The same overnight assault included 289 drones, 17 ballistic missiles and 59 cruise missiles, knocking three of Ukraine's five largest thermal power plants offline.
Russia also struck a hospice in Dnipro and a hospital in Kharkiv, wounding at least 62 people, the majority of them elderly patients.
Zelenskyy noted the attack fell on the same night as the US election, writing: 'The Russians think America won't notice this signal of theirs.'
