The photos presented by the American Land Photography Company (Planet BBC) shed light on the changes that occurred on the cemetery in Stary Karim, an occupied town located northwest of the city.
Pictures taken on March 24, the day Mariolpol was attacked, and photos taken on October 14, months later, reveal a significant expansion of the cemetery’s southern perimeter.
In the southwest corner of the cemetery, it appears that an area measuring roughly 1. 1 square kilometres (less than half a square mile) has been freshly dug during that time.
Another area has also been dug slightly than half a square kilometer in the southeastern pocket of the cemetery.
Additionally, it is still unknown how many people were interred in the cemetery over the course of almost 7 months.
The Center Four Innavorestan Reseallians – a London -based non -profit organization specialized in digital investigations and the Cemetery of Stary Karim has monitored – that more than 4,600 graves have been dug since the beginning of the Russian war in Ukraine.
The centre claimed he was unable to determine how many bodies were interred.
