The Ostrówki massacre was a 1943 mass murder of the Polish inhabitants of the Volhynian village of Ostrówki, located in the gmina Hushcha, Liuboml (Polish: Huszcza, Luboml), Volhynian Voivodeship in the Second Polish Republic (now known as Ostrowky, located in the Kamin-Kashyrskyi Raion of Volyn Oblast, Ukraine). On 30 August 1943, armed members of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UIA) murdered 438 Poles. Among the victims were 246 children under the age of 14. On the same day, the nationalists of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army murdered 529 Poles in the neighboring village of Wola Ostrowiecka (see Massacre of Wola Ostrowiecka). After the massacre, Ostrówki was burned to the ground after its goods were looted. In September 1943, a commandant, surnamed Lysiy, of the local UIA, reported to the UIA's headquarters: "I have carried out the operation in the villages of Wola Ostrowiecka and Ostrovky (sic). I have liquidated all Poles, from the youngest to the oldest ones. I burnt all buildings, and appropriated all goods."
