A warning, this report contains images that viewers may find disturbing.

Ukrainian forces have buried hundreds of people in a

mass grave in a commuter town outside Ukraine's

capital, Kyiv, after retaking control of the area from

Russian troops, according to an official.

"In Bucha, we have already buried 280 people in mass graves," Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk told the AFP news agency by phone on Saturday.

He said the heavily destroyed town's streets are

littered with corpses. Bucha has seen fierce fighting during the past few weeks and had been under Russian occupation for about a month until it was retaken this week.
