In the village of Komańcza, poviat Sanok, after the Border Patrol Guards WOP soldiers had left the post that was in danger, the UPA burnt it down and killed 6 Poles in the village. On the damage done by the UPA on the night of March 21–22, 1946, the 'Sanok Yearly' vol. IV states:
„The entire railway line from Komańcza to Czaszyn is demolished. All bridges burned, telegraph poles cut down and the stakes burned. In places, entire sections of the railway track with sleepers are thrown into the river. Between the town of Mokre and the town of Czaszyn, a tanker filled with oil, an armored car and a locomotive were knocked down from the railway embankment and burned down. Road bridges, from Komańcza to Tarnawa, all burned”.
The attack on the Komańcza community on March 21‑22 also had tragic consequences. Banderites disguised in part in Polish uniforms burned down the building of the railway sanatorium (in Komańcza–Letnisko), the house of [Romuald] Klimów, former community elderman (starosta), the Border Partrol Guards' station, the house of teacher Drozdowa, where a private Polish school was run and a dairy. In addition, a railway watchtower, the house of the policeman Hirsch, the house of the village elderman (wójt) Kasiewicz, the house of Dr. Heller, where MO police station was located, a station and two railway warehouses, all were burnt down. The teacher, Ms Drozdowa was burnt down along with the school building, and her sister, Kułak, was also killed. The UPAs also kidnapped and shot the policemen Błaszczak and Latusk, lieutenant Gerasik, and the railwayman, Goniec. The UPA also intended to burn down the convent of the Nazareth Sisters — at the urgent request of the convent's superior, the UPA were dissuaded not to do it.
In fact, the monastery was not burnt down because wounded UPA bandits were often hiding there.

Fragment of a report by a clerk of the V region in the 'Beskid' region about the murder of a Greek Catholic priest and his son in Komańcza by soldiers of the Polish Army:
„On April 6, 1946 at 11 am, the 3rd Polish Army returning from the raid to the Chryszczaty forests came to the village Komańcza. In the village they behaved as much as possible, but immediately went to the upper end, where they circled the building of the local parish priest, Fr Wenhrnovych and began the search. During the search, they found the priest's son, Olesia, a pistol, for which they started beating him hard, breaking his arm. Seeing his position without exit, he jumped out of the window and began to run away. He got a bullet in the side during the escape, but he kept running. At a distance of 300 m, he received a second bullet in the head and fell.
The Polish executioners went to the church, from where they took the priest to recognize his son. The priest confessed to his son, for which the Polish satraps started beating him on the head, as a result of which he lost consciousness. The red executioners continued to beat him, however. After regaining consciousness, he started running towards the presbytery. In close proximity to the fire (10 m) he got a few bullets in the head and fell.
The priest's rectory and all his property (horses, cows, grain, clothes) burned down”.

Excerpt from Julia Koszil's memoirs about the murder of Ukrainians in Komancza by soldiers of the Polish Army:
„A week after my return from Mików from this [nurses] course, our priest [Orest] Wenhrynowycz was martyred. We went down to the basement, and there were smoke, shots, and a tile that was hot by the fire. [The priest's] son got bullets in the eye and in his body, they immediately took off his ring, stripped him of his shoes, and not only murdered the priest, but also threw him into the fire. People then brought them to the church, only bones. They put them on a canvas, with a priest on one side of the church, and a son named Oleś on the other”.

Excerpt from Vasyl Pyszniak's memoirs about the murder of Ukrainians in Komańcza by soldiers of the Polish Army:
„In April 1946, I do not remember what day it was, the Polish Army attacked the village in one afternoon. Wasyl Pińczak was taken from the house at the lower end of the village; surrounded our church and the farm buildings of our parish priest, Father Orest Wenhrynowycz. The buildings were burnt down by the soldiers along with the horses and cows. They led Father Wenhrynowycz with his brother Roman and his younger son Stefan onto the road, about 100 meters from the building. Stefan looked around, saw the fire and wanted to save the cattle. Then they shot him. The older son, Oles, was beaten in such a way that he broke his ribs and hands, but they allowed him to 'run away' so that they could shoot him, which happened 10–20 meters from the house”.
