Two claims were partially confirmed: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that a Russian attack on a school used as an aid centre in Komyshuvakha killed 18 people following a limited ceasefire, and a Russian bombing of an aid distribution centre in Komyshuvakha on November 3, 2026, killed at least 26 people and injured five. One claim, asserting that a Russian airstrike on a school used as a humanitarian centre in Komyshuvakha killed 24 people and injured several others on November 2, 2026, had insufficient evidence.
