8 people killed in Ukraine after massive Russian strikes

Russia launched a massive overnight strike on Ukrainian electricity facilities in the Vinnytsia Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions which supply power to military factories and the Ukrainian army. Russian strikes also hit residential areas.

This as Russia bombed an aid distribution centre and neighbouring shelter in southern Ukraine killing 18 people.

At least 15 people were injured in a massive Russian strike on Dnipro Tuesday, local authorities said. Three people are in critical condition.

The strike destroyed residential and administrative buildings and caused a fire.

Injured people were carried out of damaged homes as the rescue operation continued amid repeated alert warnings of further strikes.

In Zaporizhzhia 18 people were killed, according to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy when an aid distribution centre and a neighbouring shelter were bombed.

Authorities said 10 guided bombs targeted an area that included a school building used to distribute humanitarian aid and a nearby shelter in the village of Komyshuvakha in southern Zaporizhzhia.

The attack occurred a day after a localised ceasefire in the nearby Kherson region ended.

Russia's intensified air campaign is slowly strangling Ukraine's economy, targeting industrial and energy plants, as well as the logistics networks, railways and export routes that keep it afloat.

This spokesperson at the Kamet Steel plant damaged by Russian attacks said, "This is absolute horror and this is the first time in 70 years that the plant

has been shut down, shut down for so long. And terrorist attacks continue after ballistic strikes, keeping the plant shut down.

US President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff posted on X that the US will mediate talks between Russia and Ukraine on November 10 and 11 in Abu Dhabi

focusing on post war security arrangements, de-escalation and humanitarian efforts.

Russia had agreed last month to resume three-way negotiations with Washington and Kyiv aimed at ending the war, setting up the first such talks since February, but not date had been set.
