The Ministry of Defense of Russia announced that the Russian Federation officially invited experts from the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross to investigate the terrorist attack in the colony in the occupied Olenivka, Donetsk region.

"The Russian Federation has officially invited experts from the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross to carry out an objective investigation of the attack on the pre-trial detention center in Olenivka, which led to the death of a large number of Ukrainian prisoners of war," the occupiersʼ defense ministry said.

• On the night of July 29, explosions rang out in the colony in the occupied city of Olenivka, Donetsk region, where the Russians kept Ukrainian prisoners of war. The Russians said that it was the ZSU that was hit with HIMARS. However, the General Staff of Ukraine stated that the pre-trial detention center was shelled by the Russians themselves with artillery in order to accuse Ukraine of "war crimes" and to cover up the torture of prisoners and executions. More than 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed by shelling, and 130 were wounded.
• The explosions took place on the territory of the industrial zone in a newly built building that was supposed to be specially equipped to hold prisoners who had been taken out of Azovstal. The building was completed on July 27, after which some of the captured Ukrainian defenders were transferred to it. The Security Service of Ukraine intercepted telephone conversations in which the occupiers confirm that Russian troops are responsible for the shelling of the pre-trial detention center.
• On July 30, the Ministry of Defense of Russia published a list of Ukrainian prisoners of war who allegedly died as a result of a terrorist attack in a colony in the occupied Olenivka of the Donetsk region. The list includes 48 dead, the identities of two are being established because they allegedly died on the way to the hospital. There are 73 names on the list of the wounded.
• Journalist Christopher Miller published a photo of a Russian prisoner of war camp in occupied Olenivka, Donetsk region. The photos were taken by the Maxar satellite before and after the terrorist attack on the colony.
