Russian strike on the village of Hroza
On the afternoon of October 5th, Russian forces launched a missile strike on the village of Hroza in the Kharkiv region. The missile hit a store and a cafe where a funeral for a deceased soldier, organized by his wife and son, was taking place. The son was also a serviceman and was in the cafe with his wife and mother.
Initially, it was known that about fifty people died in the strike, but the number of victims continues to rise.
Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko did not rule out the possibility that someone from the local residents might have directed the strike, as the missile accurately hit a small building. This version will be investigated by the Security Service of Ukraine and the police.
Today's strike became the deadliest in terms of casualties in the Kharkiv region since the start of the full-scale invasion. Approximately 15% of the population of the settlement has been killed.
