Komyshuvakha toll rises to 33 as Kremlin confirms Abu Dhabi talks
At least 33 people are now known to have died in the glide-bomb strike on an aid centre in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia, and President Zelensky called it “one of the largest mass killings committed by Russia during this war”. Russian strikes also hit a hospice in Dnipro and a hospital in Kharkiv. The Kremlin confirmed it will attend US-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi on 10–11 November.
At least 38 civilians were killed across Ukraine in 24 hours. Kyiv’s water supply was cut entirely and its metro suspended after strikes on energy infrastructure in nine regions. Russia’s defence ministry claimed the Komyshuvakha strike killed 25 servicemen; the UN monitoring mission said it appeared to violate “the most fundamental principles” of humanitarian law. The Abu Dhabi meeting would be the first trilateral round since February, and Melania Trump will host Russian and Ukrainian representatives at the White House on Thursday. Mr Zelensky said he had seen no “indication” that Moscow was serious.
