In another area is the second mass grave in which, according to operational data, there may be both military and civilian victims. However, the exact number of bodies is still unknown.

“Law enforcement officials are now investigating these sites and will soon begin the exhumation process. I ask everyone to refrain from commenting on the number of people buried and the causes of their death until the final conclusions of the experts,” Kyrylenko has detailed in his message.

Of the total number of bodies found, 21 of them have been identified and buried in the cemetery of the town of Sviatohrisk.
