According to the UN, yesterday’s attack on Hrosa was probably due to a Russian missile. At this point, it is “very difficult to determine with absolute certainty what happened,” says UN High Commissioner for Human Rights spokeswoman Elizabeth Throssell in Geneva. However, given the location hit “everything indicates that it was a Russian missile”. In photos and videos, at least 23 of the fatalities appeared to be wearing civilian clothing, Throssel said. There were apparently no military targets nearby, but investigations by the UN team sent to Hrosa were still necessary. According to Throssel, the names of 35 of the at least 51 people killed in Hrosa have been identified so far. These include 19 women, 15 men and an eight-year-old boy.
The Kremlin rejects the accusation that the Russian army is firing on civilians. “We repeat that the Russian military does not attack civilian targets. Attacks are carried out on military targets, on places where military personnel are concentrated,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in Moscow.
