The Komyshuvakha school was serving as a highly publicized humanitarian aid distribution center when it was struck. Komyshuvakha lies southeast of Zaporizhzhia and forms part of Ukraine’s defensive and transport network on the approaches to the regional capital. A separate strike on Dnipro railway station killed 15 people on October 29. The planned Abu Dhabi meeting would be the first trilateral meeting since February. Ukraine had also proposed extending and expanding the previous week’s Kherson ceasefire, which had enabled people from the Russian-occupied frontline town of Oleshky to evacuate.
