Russia attacked Komyshuvakha with an FPV drone amid ongoing rescue after a bomb strike

Situation Overview

On 8 November, Russian forces attacked Komyshuvakha with an FPV drone, where emergency rescue work had been ongoing for seven days after an earlier airstrike. The earlier strike, carried out with air bombs, killed 55 people and left people potentially trapped under rubble, according to the report. The same report says a night attack also hit the Dnipro region’s energy infrastructure, leaving more than 600,000 people in Dnipro and the oblast without electricity. The report also describes a difficult situation in Kharkiv oblast, with many outages across regions, and notes that in Zhytomyr oblast there were power cuts following a Russian shelling.
