Ukraine rescuers search shelter after 31 reported deaths

Ukraine rescuers searched a bombed shelter Tuesday after an attack killed at least 31 people, Ukrainian authorities reported.

Emergency crews and volunteers searched debris in Komyshuvakha, in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, where the facility provided shelter and humanitarian assistance. The reported number of residents unaccounted for exceeded 45, leaving the toll unresolved as Ukraine prepared for another round of peace negotiations mediated by Washington.

Mykhailo Semikin, acting head of the regional military administration, said the fatalities included four police officers and two emergency responders. Regional authorities announced a three-day mourning period following Monday's attack; at least five people were reported injured.

Hospitals move patients after strikes

Elsewhere, Ukrainian authorities reported hospital damage and civilian injuries during overnight attacks. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia deployed 289 drones alongside 17 ballistic and 59 cruise missiles against nine regions, prompting emergency electricity cuts.

In Kharkiv, local authorities put the injury count at a minimum of 62 following a missile-and-drone assault. Regional military administration head Oleh Syniehubov said a medical site in the Nemyshlianskyi district sustained damage and that patient transfers to other facilities exceeded 200.

Authorities in the Dnipro area reported one death and 17 injuries, while rescuers recovered a woman alive Tuesday morning. Oleksandr Hanzha, who heads the regional military administration, said damage to a hospital and an outpatient clinic required patients to be relocated.

DTEK shuts three damaged plants

Ukraine's energy ministry reported 20 overnight attacks affecting 10 regions as strikes on electricity infrastructure continued before winter. That account covered a different regional total from Zelenskyy's weapons tally; the supplied material does not establish whether the two counts covered identical periods or targets.

DTEK said damage forced three generating plants to stop operating, although it reported no injuries. The company provided no capacity figures or restart timetable in the supplied account, leaving the extent and duration of the generation loss unclear.

Russian authorities also reported attacks on their territory. Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed its forces intercepted 856 Ukrainian drones overnight, while Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 493 drones had been directed toward the capital; neither tally was independently corroborated in the supplied material.

Yaroslavl regional Gov. Mikhail Yevrayev attributed injuries to two refinery employees and damage at the site to a Ukrainian drone strike. Separately, Moscow-installed authorities reported rotating electricity outages across parts of occupied Crimea following attacks on energy facilities.

Abu Dhabi talks retain Russian participation

Zelenskyy went to Germany Tuesday for consultations with European leaders before negotiations scheduled for November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi. Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump's special envoy, confirmed the dates Monday evening and identified security arrangements after the war, humanitarian measures and de-escalation as negotiating subjects.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would send representatives. Russia agreed the previous month to restart negotiations involving Washington and Kyiv, setting up their first such discussions since February, according to the supplied account.

The European Commission also announced a Wednesday meeting on Ukraine's reconstruction involving European governments, Ukraine, the United States, NATO and the World Bank. Commission spokeswoman Paula Pinho did not confirm Zelenskyy's participation; the immediate diplomatic test remains whether the scheduled negotiations produce agreed measures on the security and humanitarian issues Witkoff identified.
