IZIUM, UKRAINE – A mass grave holding hundreds of unknown civilians and Ukrainian military was found outside the recently retaken town of Izium, in the eastern part of the country. It's among dozens of such sites discovered in areas abandoned by Russian troops.

Hundreds of numbered graves populate this forested area outside Izium. The site was discovered after Russian troops posted photos on social media pages. As Investigators perform the grisly task of exhuming bodies, they must be careful. Russian troops often booby trap the graves.

"If [a metal detector] bleeps on the place where our brothers are lying, that means that the enemy may have left something like an explosive substance, a grenade that could be thrown [into a grave]," a Ukrainian serviceman told us.
