A grave believed to contain the remains of Jews was found in eastern Ukraine.

The grave was found in Dnepropetrovsk area, when workers digging for the foundation of a planned shopping center at the site of a former Jewish cemetery found bones.

Local authorities suspended the construction and assigned a special commission to investigate the case. The commission includes prominent representatives of the Dnepropetrovsk Jewish community.
