Three women and a man, all in their 40s, died in the July 9 attack in the town of Orikhiv, Governor Yuriy Malashko said. A guided aerial bomb caused an explosion at the school, Mr. Malashko said. Russia has been accused numerous times of doing so and committing other war crimes since its full-scale invasion of neighbouring Ukraine in February 2022. The International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine, located in The Hague, is helping with those investigations.
