The death toll from a Russian strike on a humanitarian aid distribution point in the Zaporizhzhia region has risen to 40, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who stated that several glide bombs were used during the attack on Monday. Zelensky traveled to Madrid to meet with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and other leaders on the sidelines of the Ibero-American Summit, marking his fifth visit to Spain to discuss international peace and security challenges. Meanwhile, Russian authorities reported efforts to restore electricity in Crimea after Ukrainian strikes targeted energy infrastructure, leaving residents without power overnight. Additionally, the Russian e-commerce giant Ozon announced that one of its logistics warehouses in southwestern Russia caught fire following a drone attack, resulting in no injuries but leading to the cancellation of some orders.

Russian air defenses intercepted 493 Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow over the weekend, according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. In southeastern Ukraine, Russian strikes on a school distributing humanitarian aid and a shelter in Komyshuvakha killed at least 26 people, local authorities reported. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that these attacks destroyed hopes for peace progress, arguing that Russia seeks neither de-escalation nor true justice. Meanwhile, US special envoy Steve Witkoff announced that negotiations between Russia and Ukraine would take place in Abu Dhabi on November 10 and 11 under American mediation. These talks aim to address post-war security arrangements, de-escalation measures, and humanitarian efforts, following previous trilateral meetings in Geneva that did not resolve the conflict.

Ukrainian authorities reported that Russian airstrikes targeting a school distributing humanitarian aid in Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, killed at least 26 people on November 2. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the attacks occurred precisely when civilians were arriving for weekly aid distribution and subsequently struck a shelter where residents had taken refuge. Zelensky described the incident as destroying any hope for peace progress and characterized it as evidence that Russia seeks neither de-escalation nor justice. The strikes followed the end of a brief, localized ceasefire in nearby Kherson that had allowed for the evacuation of residents from the occupied town of Olechky. Following the cessation of this truce, Russian forces resumed combat operations and drone attacks in the Kherson region, including incidents involving civilian vehicles and medical facilities.
