President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke at a ceremony in Bucha Friday, vowing to punish those who committed outrages there that are still raw.

Hundreds of bodies were uncovered including some of children.

Thirty-five bodies have been found inside a well at a Hindu temple in central India after dozens of people fell into the muddy water when the well's cover collapsed. Video of Thursday's collapse showed chaos afterward, with people rushing toward the exits. An excavator pulled down a wall of the decades-old temple to help people flee. The collapse occurred while Hindus were gathering for a festival for the deity Rama. Officials said the iron grill and tile cover apparently wasn't able to handle the weight of the people on it. Eighteen people were injured and one person was still unaccounted for Friday. Rescuers used ropes and ladders to pull out bodies after pumping the water out of the well.
