On October 5, 2023, a Russian Iskander ballistic missile struck a café in the village of Hroza, Kharkiv region, killing 59 civilians (36 women, 22 men, and an 8-year-old boy) gathered for a funeral reception for a local Ukrainian soldier. The attack wiped out one-sixth of the village's pre-war population of 330. The UN OHCHR published a dedicated report on October 31, 2023, concluding there was no military personnel or any other legitimate military target present at or near the café. Fifteen families lost two or more members. Many victims required DNA identification due to the devastation. Ukraine's SBU identified collaborators who provided exact timing of the gathering to Russian forces. The attack represents one of the deadliest single incidents for civilians since the February 2022 invasion. UN officials called it an 'inhuman' attack with no military justification.
