In brief
Two brothers and five Russian commanders face charges over the attack on a cafe in Ukraine's Kharkiv region. All seven are wanted.
A criminal case over the missile strike on the Suputnyk cafe in Hroza, which killed 59 people, has been sent to court, the Kharkiv regional prosecutor's office said on October 5, according to Novynarnia. Kharkiv's Industrialnyi District Court is due to hear the case.
Investigators allege that brothers Volodymyr and Dmytro Mamon passed the cafe's coordinates and the timing of a memorial meal to the Russian side. Five Russian commanders are accused of roles in checking the information, selecting the target, ordering the attack and arranging the missile launch. All seven defendants are wanted.
The defendants face charges of violating the laws and customs of war involving intentional murder. The brothers also face charges of treason and assisting a war crime. Referral to court does not establish their guilt.
Prosecutors said the investigation lasted about three years and involved more than 270 expert examinations, 3D scanning, analysis of missile fragments and reconstruction of the missile's flight path.
