Ukraine Aid-Centre Death Toll Rises to 37 as New Russian Strikes Disrupt Power and Water
At least 37 people are reported dead and 59 missing after a strike on a Ukrainian aid centre, as new Russian attacks disrupt power and water and halt three DTEK plants.
At least 37 people have been reported killed and 59 missing after strikes on a humanitarian aid centre in southeastern Ukraine, according to Reuters, as fresh Russian drone and missile attacks damage the country’s power network. Ukraine’s largest private energy company says three thermal power plants stopped generating electricity, adding to concerns over heating, water and healthcare as winter approaches.
KYIV — Rescue workers are searching the ruins of a former school used as a humanitarian aid distribution centre in Komyshuvakha, in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, after a deadly attack on Monday. Reuters reported on Wednesday that the death toll had risen to 37 and that 59 people were missing, while further Russian strikes disrupted electricity and water supplies elsewhere in Ukraine.
Casualty figures have changed as rescuers have recovered bodies and assessed who remains unaccounted for. The numbers in this article are attributed to the reporting available on 4 November, not presented as a final independently verified total.

Attacks can reduce available electricity supply.
Pumping and treatment systems may depend on electricity.
Hospitals rely on reliable power and functioning backup systems.
Disruptions become especially serious during colder weather.
These are potential infrastructure consequences, not measured outcomes for every affected locality.
