may be the most victims were found in future, was where there are more than 350 corpses is. did your very hibler kids may assess rescue a sense, medics are at the sight of a blast that occurred on the cities outskirts on saturday morning italy cleo course said cruise where establishing the extent of the damage and fatalities. meanwhile, more and more information is coming to light on alleged atrocities committed in the formerly russian occupied areas. new chief, particularly in the town of boucher, our correspondent rebecca ritters is in the ukrainian capital and has given us this update. yeah, monica butcher really bore the brunt of some of the worst atrocities we've seen, or at least in the cave region. or we were there yesterday as you say, and talking to people who survived that horrific occupation. they're, they're clearly shell shocked. as you can imagine. i mean people, they're trying to get on with their lives, but obviously finding that very difficult,

something that surprised me was how quickly that city is being cleaned up. in the scenes that we saw, of all those burned out tankers and munitions in the street that has all, almost gone. obviously the buildings are still destroyed. all the shops are burnt out and looted, and many of the houses are destroyed too. but the streets itself have have been cleared up, and the bodies counted and collected a we spoke to people. 11 gentlemen showed me in the backyard in a makeshift grave where that they had dug for his wife's cousin. the body had, has now been zoomed and dis, yesterday. they were on the way to give him a proper burial. these people have been through the most horrific instances, as you can imagine. and people are trying to pick up the pieces of their lives. but so many destroyed, the scars on that city are going to remain for some time yet. yeah, and of course, russian troops have only just recently retreated from areas around kia. and now moscow is already threatening to target the city again. ah,

had there been strikes since ukraine is preparing for renewed strikes on the capital? as you say yesterday, i saw a strike on a munitions factory about 15 kilometers from where i'm standing right now. and this morning mer vitale. clinico has announced that there were also some attacks on the left bank of the city cave is, is cut into by the need to river on the left bank in a suburban area. there were some attacks in the early hours of the morning, apparently details yet to emerge of what exactly was the target there, or whether there were any casualties. and the sirens have been sounding overnight early this morning. and even not long before we came to air. so, so definitely a city that is preparing, but you know, i don't know whether you can see behind me, i'm standing right near it made on square. there are sort of people trying to get on with their lives here as well as best they can. yeah, we are starting to see people out on the streets, some restaurants,

reopening some non essential shops. it is definitely not anything like normal here in the capital, but people trying to get on with their lives despite the situation going on. but definitely a city that is preparing for potential renewed attacks in retaliation for certain attacks by the ukrainian side, namely, a russian warship that was sunk in the black sea. and something that moscow russia denies that it actually was done by ukrainian forces. the pentagon seems to think differently. that's right, a ukraine came out and said that, that it with the that boat that, or, or that sea ship, sorry, that tank a ship was actually sung by the buyer of their rockets. something that raj russia said no, no, it was a fire on board and, and that lit up the munitions and in that and sank. it, it did. and russia has actually said that the ship has sunk. so they've agreed to that. but they didn't, they, they deny that it comes from ukrainian or ukrainian attack, but the pentagon has actually supported that and said that, yes, it was indeed ukrainian or the attack that,

that sank that ship. so that is definitely a boost for the ukranian sy, but something that will obviously see retaliation from the rush right. rebecca richness reporting for us from kia. thank you so much. rebecca take care ukrainian troops have been digging in throughout eastern ukraine and anticipation of a new russian offensive. military experts are predicting this refocused assault will be the largest and most brutal sofa. meanwhile, at 7 civilians were killed and at least that he wounded by russian shelling and the city of high chief on friday. a note to all of us here. some of the images you about to see are disturbing. nina shift jenko is crying for her dead son. impression that you haven't taken away. she begs him to open his eyes. and the boy's grandmother arrives. the paramedic tries to soothe her grief.
