Dozens of corpses were found in the streets of Bucha, outside of Kyiv, shortly after Ukraine retook the town from Russian forces, AFP News Agency reported Saturday night.
Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk told AFP in a phone call that the streets of Bucha were "littered with corpses" and that 280 bodies have been collected and buried in mass graves since the location was retaken by the Ukrainian military.
Human Rights Watch cited a witness saying that Russian troops rounded up five men and shot each of them in the back of the head.
Photos released of the incident show that Russian forces organized the killing of civilians in Bucha by a gunshot with their hands tied behind their backs, according to a report by Kyiv Independent. They were also murdering people in the city of Irpin, the report added.
Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky tweeted in response that the incident "is a war crime and cannot be justified."
