U.N. and local investigators are searching for answers at the site of a Russian missile strike on a small Ukrainian village.
Relatives and friends mourn near the coffins of Tetiana Androsovych, 60, and Mykola Androsovych, 63, killed by a rocket strike, at a graveyard in the village of Hroza, near Kharkiv, Ukraine, Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023. The Ukrainian village of Hroza has been plunged into mourning by a Russian rocket strike on a village store and cafe that killed more than 50 people on Thursday, Oct. 5.
“What happened here is yet another tragic reminder of the deadly impact Russia’s invasion has had on Ukraine’s civilians,” Bell added. His son Dmytro Kozyr, also a soldier, was among those who died in the attack alongside his wife Nina, just days short of her 20th birthday, according to Ukrainian media reports. As of Saturday, Ukrainian law enforcement and the regional prosecutor's office put the number of victims at 52.
Tarannyk and her brother stood embracing each other, gazing at their parents’ closed caskets, throughout the Orthodox service. “They were so happy,” she recalled. Together, they had made plans for Tarannyk's child to visit the grandparents in spring. Mykola and his wife were buried several rows on from Kozyr, the soldier whose wake they had attended. The tiny village cemetery has grown substantially in the last two days, as fresh graves keep appearing.
