Russian strike on Ukraine humanitarian hub kills at least 31, dozens missing

A Russian attack on a humanitarian hub in Ukraine has killed at least 31 people and left dozens missing, according to The New York Times, which reported that the strike is feared to be among the deadliest of the war.

Hours after the attack, the United States said peace talks involving Russia and Ukraine would resume after a gap of nine months, the Times reported.

The Times's headline says the strike is feared to be among the war's deadliest. The figures of at least 31 dead and dozens missing are the numbers it gave in its summary of the story.

Further details on the location of the hub, who was inside, the rescue effort and the response of the Russian and Ukrainian governments were not available. No date or format has been given for the resumption of the talks.

  1. Confirmed A Russian attack on a humanitarian hub in Ukraine has killed at least 31 people Al Jazeera, citing Ukrainian officials, reports at least 31 killed in a Russian bombing of an aid centre in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region. Its coverage is dated 2 November 2026. Russian attack on Ukraine aid hub kills 31 as US announces new peace talks
  2. Not found dozens are missing after the attack The Al Jazeera text I could read does not mention dozens missing. The story relies on the New York Times summary, which I could not open.
  3. Not found the United States said peace talks involving Russia and Ukraine would resume after a gap of nine months Al Jazeera says the US announced new peace talks. I did not find the nine-month gap in the text I could read. Russian attack on Ukraine aid hub kills 31 as US announces new peace talks
  4. Disputed No date or format has been given for the resumption of the talks Al Jazeera reports the US announced the talks for November 10 and 11. This contradicts the story's statement that no date has been given. Russian attack on Ukraine aid hub kills 31 as US announces new peace talks
  5. Not found the strike is feared to be among the deadliest of the war This is the New York Times's characterisation, and I found no independent source that ranks the strike.
