The Ukrainians murdered 199 Poles. 187 Poles were buried in one grave – according to Fr Bishop Wincenty Urban. Siekierka., P. 1140 reports that in March 1944 the Bandera followers cruelly murdered 11 people, and then 187 people buried in one grave. Motyka dates the attack to the beginning of April 1944, so it is possible that 187 Poles were murdered then. See also: on the night of March 30–31.

Wola Wysocka
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.
