131 bodies have been discovered thus far, however this number is preliminary.

“The bodies are exhumed now at the two main burial sites, 131 bodies have been exhumed, but … there are mass graves where the bodies were buried in trenches and there are individual graves found in yards. Therefore, this number is not final, it keeps growing, unfortunately,” the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration said.
