Overview
- The bombing that struck the front‑line village on Monday hit a school used for aid distribution and an underground shelter in a follow‑up strike, leaving 43 confirmed dead and dozens still unaccounted for, Ukrainian officials say.
- Ukrainian police released body‑camera footage and the UN human rights mission said the attack likely violated international law because rescuers and civilians were hit in a suspected double‑tap strike.
- Ukraine reported fresh strikes on Russian air‑defence and drone facilities, saying it destroyed two Pantsir systems in occupied Crimea and hit drone storage and launch sites between November 3 and 5.
- Both sides reported mass drone waves overnight, with Ukraine saying its air defences neutralised 105 Russian attack drones and Russia claiming about 496 Ukrainian fixed‑wing drones were shot down while fires and damage were reported in Ryazan.
- High‑level talks continue in Brussels on reconstruction and security and US‑brokered Ukraine‑Russia meetings are set for November 10–11, even as the drone and missile campaign raises urgent calls for more interceptors and winter‑ready energy repairs.
