Russian Drone Targeted Rescuers in Komyšuvacha; Strikes Hit Odesa and Dnipro

A Russian drone targeted rescue workers responding to a humanitarian center strike in Komyšuvacha, ct24.ceskatelevize.cz reported.

Dnes (v neděli) ráno Rusové zaútočili FPV dronem na Komyšuvachu, kde již sedm dní probíhají záchranné operace po leteckém útoku, který zabil 55 lidí, ukrajinský prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj stated, noting that Bohužel pod troskami mohou být stále další lidé.

Emergency crews were searching a shelter site in the Zaporizhzhia region when the strike occurred, according to the State Emergency Service. Ale tento útok, stejně jako tisíce a tisíce dalších válečných zločinů, které Rusko spáchalo proti Ukrajině a Ukrajincům, vyžaduje silnou reakci, Zelenskyj added on the social network X.

The humanitarian center was originally hit on Monday when Russian forces dropped multiple glide bombs on a school building. V Komyšuvachě probíhají již sedmý den pátrací a záchranné operace po ruském útoku z 2. listopadu, uvedl Mykhailo Semikin.

Mykhailo Semikin, the acting head of the regional military administration, stated that 55 bodies have been recovered from the rubble so far. Během pátracích prací záchranáři objevili a vyprostili z trosek těla dalších 8 obětí, rescuers posted on Telegram.

Officials have identified 29 of the recovered victims.

Survivors and emergency workers had retreated to the underground shelter when subsequent blasts collapsed the structure.

Rescue teams continue clearing a massive crater at the school site. Semikin reported that 45 people remain missing beneath the debris. Speciální záchranné vybavení bylo poškozeno, the State Emergency Service reported, noting that the strike occurred in the Zaporizhzhia district.

At least two people died and seven others were injured in the region from drone, artillery, and aerial bomb strikes. Nejméně dva lidé přišli o život a dalších sedm bylo zraněno při ruských útocích na Dněpropetrovskou oblast na jihovýchodě Ukrajiny, regional head Oleksandr Hanža announced.

Emergency power outages were also implemented in Kyiv, Dnipro, and other regions following weekend bombardments. The Russian Ministry of Defence stated that its forces are continuing attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, according to ct24.ceskatelevize.cz.

At least one person died during a late-night strike in Odesa that damaged local infrastructure, regional governor Serhij Lysak said. Another person sustained injuries in a residential area of Khmelnytskyi after a drone hit the western regional center. Při ruském útoku v Chmelnycké oblasti byli zraněni dva lidé, Ukrinform reported.

Russian forces also used three Kh-59/69 guided missiles in attacks on Ukraine. According to the Kyiv Independent, three-ton bomb variants were reportedly used in the attacks.

Regional officials reported that 45 individuals are still unaccounted for beneath the school building ruins. Some of the missing are expected to be among the 55 bodies already recovered from the site. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that more than 30 people remain missing, echoing figures comparable to the aftermath of the April 8, 2022 railway station rocket strike in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, which killed 63 passengers.

Over 600,000 households and subscribers lost electricity following the weekend infrastructure attacks.

Rescue and recovery operations continue, though officials said persistent drone attacks frequently force workers to interrupt their search efforts.
