Russian forces struck the settlement of Komyshuvakha in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region with at least nine guided aerial bombs (KABs) on Monday, November 2, killing 24 people and leaving another 27 missing.

The attack targeted a school used as a humanitarian aid distribution point, as well as a shelter where local residents had been taking refuge, The Caspian Post reports, citing the Kyiv Post.

Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi reported at 8:09 p.m. local time that the death toll had risen to 24.

Earlier in the evening, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration Mykhailo Semikin reported 18 fatalities. The victims included at least two police officers and two rescuers from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (DSNS).

In total, five people were wounded at the time of the report. The toll could rise as search and rescue operations continue at the site.

“There is no doubt whatsoever: the Russians knew for certain that this is exactly where local residents receive aid every week,” Koretskyi said.

In his latest update, Semikin declared Tuesday, Nov. 3 a day of mourning in Zaporizhzhia region for victims killed in the strike.
