Rokitna
Our delegation in Żółkiew informs us that in the surrounding villages, Ukrainian terrorist gangs have recently brutally murdered about 80 people of Polish nationality, in particular in Wola Wysocka 11 people, in Kładno Wielki 40, in Wiązowa 16, Janówka 10, Fujna 8, Zameczek 3, in Rokitna 30. After the murders, these gangs set fire to the farms of the murdered Poles and, after waiting for the fire to consume them completely, they leave quietly, not pursued by any authorities. The church in Kładno Wielki burnt down. These attacks keep repeating themselves, often taking place so close to the city of Zhovkva that the fire can be clearly seen there.
