The death toll from an air strike on the village of Hroza in northeastern Ukraine rose to 52 on Friday as rescue workers scoured the rubble for bodies after what Kyiv said was one of Moscow's deadliest attacks on civilians since its invasion.
Rescuers were still working at the scene, where bodies and body parts were found on Thursday among huge piles of bricks, wood and twisted metal. On Friday, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights deployed a field team to investigate the attack, an OHCHR spokesperson said in Geneva. OCHR said it was likely that the missile was fired by Russia but that it was too early to say for certain.
