- UN investigators conclude Russian forces responsible for the deadly Oct. 5 attack on a funeral in Hroza, Ukraine that killed 59 civilians with no evidence of military targets at the location.
- Two brothers, Volodymyr and Dmytro Mamon, local residents aligned with Russian forces, implicated by Ukraine's internal security service in assisting in the execution of the attack.
