GENEVA - The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights deployed a field team on Friday to investigate an air strike on the Ukrainian village of Hroza that left at least 52 people dead.
"The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, who saw for himself the horrific impact of such strikes, is profoundly shocked and condemns these killings," OHCHR spokesperson Elizabeth Throssell told reporters in Geneva.Three days of mourning was announced in the Kharkiv region after the attack, the deadliest in the region since Russia's invasion more than 19 months ago. It was also one of the biggest civilian death tolls in any single Russian strike.
"At this stage, it's obviously very difficult to establish with absolute certainty what happened," Throssell said.
